(March 13, 2021 at 7:30pm)

QUEENS, NY – “I was heartbroken to learn of last night’s fatal shooting in Woodside Houses. This is just the latest in the disturbing rise of shootings in our borough. Law enforcement must work hand in hand with our communities in order to make our neighborhoods safer, and to make this a reality, we need an expansion of the crisis management system.

“My heart is with Gudelia Vallinas’ family. My office reached out to her family, and we are ready to be a partner in the fight for justice.”
