The New York Police Department is actively searching for two suspects wanted in connection with an armed robbery that occurred on August 16 in the Corona neighborhood of Queens. The incident took place near the intersection of Roosevelt Avenue and 114th Street. According to police reports, the victim, a 32-year-old man from Flushing, was walking in the area when a late-model vehicle pulled alongside him. The occupants of the vehicle engaged the victim in an argument, which quickly escalated into violence. The suspects exited the vehicle, surrounded the man, and one individual brandished a firearm. During the assault, the suspects punched the victim with closed fists and forcibly stole his debit card, cell phone, and wallet, which contained credit cards and identification. The suspects then fled the scene eastbound on Roosevelt Avenue toward Flushing. The victim sustained minor injuries but declined medical treatment at the scene. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the identity or location of the suspects to come forward. The NYPD has partnered with CrimeStoppers to offer a reward of up to $3,500 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. Residents with relevant information are encouraged to contact the CrimeStoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), visit crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or send a message to @NYPDTips on X, formerly Twitter. The investigation remains ongoing as police continue to seek the individuals responsible for this violent crime.
