Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, John B. Devito, Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”), James P. O’Neill, the Commissioner of the New York City Police Department (“NYPD”), and Cynthia Brann, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Correction, announced that ANTHONY TEJADA, a/k/a “YM,” an inmate at the Rikers Island correctional facility, was arrested yesterday for attempting to hire a hitman to murder his half-brother. TEJADA was presented today in Manhattan federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang.

On October 1, 2018, TEJADA was arrested and charged in New York State court with the attempted murder of TEJADA’s half-brother (“Victim-1”). TEJADA was detained at the Rikers Island correctional facility.

While an inmate at Rikers, TEJADA hired an individual he believed to be a hitman to murder Victim-1. In fact, the person he hired to commit this murder was an undercover ATF agent. TEJADA had multiple recorded conversations with the undercover agent, both over the phone and in person, in which TEJADA discussed the intended murder, and TEJADA agreed to pay the undercover agent $5,000 to commit the murder.

TEJADA, 19, of Brooklyn, New York, is charged with one count of murder-for-hire, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, and one count of solicitation to commit a crime of violence, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Upper West Side Heroin Dealer Arrested For Causing Overdose Death

Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and James P. O’Neill, the Commissioner of the New York City Police Department (“NYPD”), announced that JOSE LOPEZ, a/k/a “Joey,” was arrested yesterday for selling heroin that caused the death of Luxi Gong in October 2018. LOPEZ was presented yesterday in Manhattan federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry B. Pitman.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: “As alleged, with little regard for human life, Jose Lopez lined his pockets by allegedly advertising and selling a highly potent form of heroin. In fact, as alleged, even after he learned that the drugs he sold killed a 25-year-old woman, he continued to sell his poison. Now, Lopez faces life in prison for his alleged crimes.”

According to the allegations in the Complaint unsealed yesterday in Manhattan federal court:[1]

LOPEZ used online bulletin boards and social media to advertise and sell a particularly potent form of heroin. On October 27, 2018, one of LOPEZ’s customers, a 25-year-old Manhattan woman named Luxi Gong, was found dead in her apartment. Following an investigation by the NYPD, LOPEZ was identified as the person who had distributed heroin to Gong, resulting in her death. LOPEZ continued to sell heroin even after he was informed that Gong had overdosed from the drugs he sold.
