104TH PRECINCT

CREDIT CARDS
Police need the public’s help to locate
a man who recently broke into a
Ridgewood building and took off with
credit cards.
According to authorities, at 7 a.m.
on Sept. 6, an unknown man entered
a building located at 1541 Covert St.
through an unsecured door. Once
inside, the suspect took a small case
from a desk, which contained three
credit cards inside of it.
The crook then fled the scene on foot
westbound on Covert Street.
Police described the suspect as a
black man with a beard. He was last
seen wearing a dark colored baseball
cap, a white T-shirt with orange lettering
on the front, black shorts, black
and white sneakers and carrying a
black backpack.

ATV DRIVER CHARGED
WITH MURDER FOR
KILLING BICYCLIST
The office of the Queens District
Attorney announced that an ATV
driver responsible for
the death of a bicyclist
in Ridgewood will be
indicted for murder.
District Attorney
Richard A. Brown confirmed
that 24-yearold
Ozone Park
resident Sean Martin
will be charged with
murder, manslaughter
and other crimes in
the death of 65-yearold
Eucario Xelo back
in September. The
Queens DA called the
incident “an egregious
and senseless act of
depravity.”
QNS reported that
Xelo was on his way home to Brooklyn
westbound along Seneca Avenue approaching
Woodbine Street. The cyclist
was then approached by a group of two-
and four-wheel vehicles when Martin
intentionally struck him with his ATV.
The defendant performed a maneuver
called the “kick out” which
caused the rear tires to kick outward
and bump into the bicycle with its rear.
Xelo hit his head on the pavement and
was brought to Elmhurst Hospital,
where he succumbed to his injuries
on Sept. 1.
Brown added that after Xelo fell,
Martin did not make any attempts to
help him. Instead, surveillance footage
allegedly caught him approaching
another victim on Summerfield Street
and Cypress Avenue, but the cyclist
swerved out of the way to avoid the
strike.
Police apprehended Martin on Sept.
14. It was reported that he was wanted
for multiple other crimes including
burglary and assault.
Martin was arraigned on the morning
of Oct. 4 before Queens Supreme
Court Justice Michael B. Aloise, who
held the defendant without bail and
ordered him to return to court on
Thursday, Dec. 13.
He was charged on eight counts,
including second-degree murder,
first-degree assault, first-and-second
degree manslaughter, first-degree attempted
assault, first-degree reckless
endangerment, third-degree criminal
possession of a weapon and leaving the
scene without reporting. If convicted,
the young man can face up to 25 years
to life in prison.
