NYPD: 14-year-old girl arrested for murder in attempted scooter theft gone wrong
A 14-year-old girl has been arrested and charged with murder in what police said Thursday was a robbery gone wrong.
When an alarm on the scooter went off, someone from a nearby building came out to stop the thieves, police said. A physical fight ensued, and the teen allegedly stabbed 35-year-old Jose Valarezo in the groin. Police said Valarezo was part of the group trying to steal the scooter but his loved ones, reached by Gothamist, said that was unlikely.
“I think he would've been one of the ones to be like, ‘Yo, what are you doing? Get away from there, you're gonna get in trouble,’” she said. “And they didn't like that. So they started a fight.”Langois had last spoken to Valarezo on Monday night, and said they were having an argument.
“They’ve killed various people around here… but this summer was quiet. And the police are now patrolling on foot,” he said. "Before they didn’t, but as of about a month ago, they’re walking around the area. It helps a little bit.”
