A street corner in Bushwick, Brooklyn is being renamed in |
|
honor of a Brooklyn man who was killed in an alleged hate |
|
crime. |
|
|
|
Officials announced at City Hall Friday that the corner |
|
of Kossuth Place and Bushwick Avenue will be known as |
|
"Jose Sucuzha ay Place." |
|
|
|
The location is where the 31-year-old Ecuadorian |
|
immigrant was bludgeoned to death with baseball bats last |
|
December. |
|
|
|
The Saturday renaming ceremony will include a parade in |
|
celebration of the neighborhood's diversity. |
|
|
|
"This is quite a privilege as far as the sign in the City |
|
of New York to bestow upon an individual, whose name is |
|
going to join others whose names have been used for |
|
streets to give us direction. It's very symbolic, |
|
especially for the Ecuadorian community," said Brooklyn |
|
Councilwoman Diana Reyna. |
|
|
|
Police say Keith Phoenix and Hakim Scott pleaded not |
|
guilty to charges of second-degree murder, attempted |
|
assault as a hate crime and weapons possession. |
|
|
|
Witnesses told police that the men shouted slurs about |
|
gays and Hispanics to Sucuzha ay and his brother, as they |
|
were beaten. |
|
|
|
Sucuzha ay and his brother Romel were walking arm-in-arm |
|
home from a party when they were attacked. |
|
|
|
Romel Sucuzha ay survived. |
