October 5: Felix Najero, a 49-year-old homeless man, was set on fire outside of Bethany Christian Church where he rested for the night. The fire burned seventy-five percent of Najero’s body, spreading across his face, chest, and stomach. Najero died four days later in New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Police have arrested Israel Torres, a 29-year-old man from the Bronx, for the attack, charging him with attempted murder. Torres, a former prisoner, reportedly taunted Najero prior to the attack. Torres may be recharged with a more serious offence now that Najero is dead.
