NEW YORK — Police in New York City are investigating the shooting death of a Chinese food delivery worker, who was shot in the chest on Saturday while riding his scooter in the neighborhood of Forest Hills in Queens.
Zhiwen Yan, 45, worked at a Chinese restaurant in Queens called The Great Wall for more than a decade and had three jobs to support his family, ABC's New York station WABC reported.
"No family deserves to experience the grief that Zhiwen Yan's family is feeling this morning. Our thoughts are with them and everyone in [Forest Hills] who loved him," he tweeted Monday. Mourning the loss of Yan Zhiwen who was shot last night. Delivery workers should not be seen as faceless or expendable, but deserving of life - long, full, happy life. Yan's death comes amid a spate of attacks targeting Asian Americans in New York City and across the nation.
Adams also met with top NYPD brass on Saturday to discuss strategies to crackdown on the rise in major crime. Asked about the rise in major crime, Adams told ABC News Live's"GMA3" on April 25 that addressing the problem is"my responsibility."
