One of the Illegal Immigrants who Attacked on NYPD Arrested Again in Beatdown of Macy’s Security Guard

An illegal immigrant who was at large after being named as a suspect in the January beating of two New York City police officers has been arrested.

Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with robbery and petit larceny in connection with a robbery at a Macy’s store in Queens, according to the New York Post.

Police said four people entered the Queens Center Mall store and were “acting in concert” to steal clothes, according to the Post. The suspects tried to hide the clothes in bags, the Post reported.

A 27-year-old security guard tried to intervene, but was punched in the face after he and some of the suspects struggled, according to the Post.

The guard was injured but refused medical attention.

Police accused Izquiel of being the lookout for the others, according to the New York Daily News.

All of the suspects fled the store. Izquiel was arrested after a wanted poster for him was issued.

Did this make you angry?

According to the Post, Ulises Gohorquez, 21, another illegal immigrant living in a tent shelter on Randall’s Island, was arrested Wednesday in connection with the incident. He is accused of kicking the Macy’s security guard. The other suspects remain at large.

About $600 worth of clothing was stolen from Macy’s.

He was among those arrested after two NYPD officers were beaten and kicked. Although he faced assault charges, the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg did not seek bail for most of those charged.

That meant that when Bragg indicted seven people in connection with the fight, most were not readily available amid speculation that some had taken a bus to California.

“Those who attack NYC police officers have zero respect for the law. This is EXACTLY what happens when our justice system fails to hold them accountable – they are emboldened to victimize other New Yorkers. He needs to be put back behind bars … and kept there,” the Police Benevolent Association said in a statement, according to WABC-TV.

Police noted that a 17-year-old and two other suspects in the beating incident — Wilson Juarez, 21, and Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19 – were arrested on Tuesday and are being held.

“Yesterday the NYPD arrested another individual in the Bronx pursuant to an arrest warrant stemming from our indictment. Wilson Juarez and Kelvin Servita Arocha were in the same apartment when that arrest occurred – contrary to widespread misinformation they had fled New York City on a bus,” a representative of Bragg’s office said, according to CBS.

Five of the individuals charged in this incident are currently in law enforcement custody, and our investigation with the NYPD remains ongoing,” the DA’s representative said.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
