Far Rockaway man Justin Aguilera, 19, has been indicted on multiple felony charges, including first-degree gang assault, and faces up to 25 years in prison following a violent incident at a car meetup in Malba, Queens. The attack left a homeowner and his wife seriously injured, with the wife reportedly punched in the mouth while defending her husband, according to the Office of Queens District Attorney.
Aguilera was identified through video evidence and arrested weeks later, and his indictment also includes riot and other assault-related charges. He is scheduled to appear in Queens Supreme Court on January 16, while additional suspects from the incident have not yet been apprehended, as reported by the Office of Queens District Attorney.
Aguilera was charged with driving a vehicle with an obstructed license plate, non-illuminated taillights, and aggravated unlicensed operation while wearing clothing that matched witness descriptions. The case is handled by Assistant District Attorneys Dylan Nesturrick and Hugh McCann, with supervision from Michael Whitney and Executive Assistant District Attorney Shawn Clark, as stated by the Office of Queens District Attorney.
