Cops on Thursday said they are seeking 30-year-old Jahmel Sanders and 34-year-old Steven Santiago for questioning in the murders, which law enforcement sources at the time tied to a purported gang war sparked by a stolen purse.
Police are seeking to talk to Steven Santiago , 34, in connection with the May 16 double homicide in the Bronx.Jesse Parrilla and Nikki Huang, both 22, were found shot to death and burned inside a car left near a golf course in the Bronx. “He was a good-hearted person just helping a friend out with a ride,” she said through tears. “I don’t think he was aware of anything. He had no idea what was going on because he would never put himself in a situation like that.”
The Down the Hill crew quickly retaliated by allegedly shooting two suspected Up the Hill members on Pike Street. More violence followed when Down the Hill members reportedly snatched Huang while she was hanging out with Parrilla, and forced her at gunpoint to get a friend of hers to leave his house in Maspeth, Queens, resulting in his shooting.
Earlier this month, Chan griped about the news coverage of the unsolved gangland-style murder, arguing that it was “so unfair” that her daughter, who was a victim, was being blamed for what had happened.
