New Yorker reveals how group of citizens took down migrant suspected of raping 13-year-old

A New York City man is speaking out after he and a group of friends helped take down a migrant who was suspected of raping a 13-year-old girl in broad daylight.

“Everybody in the community is pretty happy that we did this because around there there’s a lot of things going on, so they feel more safe,” Daniel Ramos said on “America’s Newsroom” Thursday.

“We are just trying to keep the community safe,” he told hosts Sandra Smith and Bill Hemmer.

25-year-old Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi was arrested this week by the NYPD after a group of community Good Samaritans, including Ramos, cornered him and made a citizen’s arrest.

The district attorney said Inga-Landi has since confessed to raping the girl and recording it after kidnapping her and another 13-year-old boy.

Ramos said Inga-Landi was a frequent visitor at a store near where the Queens resident and other friends would hang out. Once he heard about the incident, Ramos said he “put two and two together” and his group started planning how they could catch him.

“As soon as I left from work, I went straight over there. And when I got there, maybe like 20 minutes after I got there, he came,” Ramos explained.

“When he came to the store, my friend Jeffrey and Angela, they both came in, they saw him when he went to the store. They’re the ones that took him out of the store. They tried to apprehend them in the store, and then we just caught him outside.”

Police said as many as 10 residents helped detain Inga-Landi until they arrived. Cops then dragged him out from under a car where he was hiding.

“He tried to say ‘let me explain,’ but we weren’t trying to hear any of it. There was nothing really to explain,” Ramos said.

“What he did was horrible. And he did that to a 13-year-old, innocent little girl. So we don’t condone that.”

Inga-Landi faces a slew of charges, including rape, kidnapping and endangering the welfare of a child. He faces up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

“I got two daughters, so I don’t play that when it comes to like, kids in general, especially doing something like that to kids, innocent kids. It’s sick for somebody to even do that,” Ramos said.

Inga-Landi did not enter a plea at his arraignment Wednesday. The judge ordered him remanded without bail.

HBO casting in CT for neighbor dispute docuseries

HBO casting in CT for neighbor dispute docuseries

A hit HBO documentary series is looking to Connecticut for stories to feature in its second season.

The show “Neighbors” follows on-going neighbor disputes across the country. The goal of the show is to help neighbors reach a resolution, according to the show’s casting director and executive producer Harleigh Shaw.

“Each story we explore, we spend extensive time with neighbors on both sides to really understand the full context beyond the disputes,” Shaw said.

Producers wanted to share stories in the second season that were based in states that weren’t featured earlier this year in the first season, including Connecticut, Shaw said.

“A lot of the things that we’re most interested in are things that may seem small, but become a bigger issue between the neighbors,” Shaw said. “Anything from disagreements over gardening practices to property lines to noise to dock issues, if it’s a waterfront property. A whole myriad of things. We’re really open to anything.”

However, the show does avoid situations that are violent or dangerous.

Residents from Connecticut looking to participate should be open to third party conflict resolution, according to Shaw.

“Some of the ways that we did that were through mediation,” Shaw said. “That’s a huge one. But there are other things in terms of resources we’d be open to help the neighbors to like help work through the issues.”

Filming will take place throughout the summer and is expected to be completed by the end of September.

The show’s production team is located in New York City and Los Angeles.

“Connecticut has always been really interesting because it’s just a short trip away, and we’re just curious to explore the types of neighbor dynamics that are going on there,” Shaw said.

Connecticut residents who are interested in being on “Neighbors,” can apply at helloneighbortv.com and are encouraged to submit information about themselves as well as their neighbor dispute.

“The neighbor disputes are the entry point for this show, but we’re always also just very interested in inspiring amazing people doing cool stuff,” Shaw said.

“Neighbors” premiered in February and was quickly renewed. The show averages about 3 million viewers per episode.

The show features stories that make viewers laugh and cringe, according to HBO Programming’s Executive Vice President Nina Rosenstein.

“At a time when even the smallest disagreements can spiral out of control, ‘Neighbors’ feels both hilariously absurd and surprisingly relatable,” Rosenstein said. “What makes the show special isn’t just the stories and people they find, but the empathy and humanity they bring to each episode.”

High heat and humidity likely to bring storms to Maine

High heat and humidity likely to bring storms to Maine

The National Weather Service is predicting a scorcher for parts of western and northern Maine on Tuesday, with the possibility of thunderstorms, high winds and hail.

“The heat and humidity is going to supply energy to the atmosphere,” said meteorologist Hunter Tubbs on Monday. “That energy is going to clash with a cold front expected to come down from Canada tomorrow night. That clash has the potential to produce severe storms.”

The evening storms could bring large hail up to 2 inches in diameter and heavy thunderstorms, but severe winds are likely to cause the most damage, forecasters say. There is a low possibility of tornadoes, according to the severe weather bulletin.

The areas at most risk include Maine’s western mountains and the northern part of Maine, from its northern foothills up to the Canadian border, Tubbs said. There is some risk of severe storms in the south, but not as much, he said.

Heat and humidity are expected to peak Tuesday, Tubbs said, with heat indices climbing into the upper 90s in cities like Augusta, Lewiston and Waterville. The heat index temperature — or how hot it feels when combining heat and humidity — is predicted to hit 104 in Fryeburg.

The humidity will ease Wednesday, Tubbs said, but the heat will linger into Thursday with highs in the low 90s. By Thursday evening, a gradual cooling trend will emerge that is likely to last into the weekend.

Mass stranding of bottlenose dolphins off Cape Cod said to be largest in Massachusetts history

Mass stranding of bottlenose dolphins off Cape Cod said to be largest in Massachusetts history

Rescuers were working to save around 30 bottlenose dolphins that got stranded off the coast of Cape Cod early Monday morning. It is the largest known stranding of bottlenose dolphins off Massachusetts, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).

The dolphins had become stranded between First Light and Ellis Landing in Brewster at about 5:30 a.m. when they came in with the tide. A woman noticed the animals and reported it. The IFAW quickly responded to the area, but five to six of the marine mammals died before help arrived.

The IFAW worked throughout the day on Monday to get the mammals away from the shoreline before the next low tide at 5:13 p.m. They said late Monday afternoon that they were still successfully being steered away.

“Our team remains in the area to monitor and herd the animals away from shore,” an IFAW spokesperson said. “We know these events can sometimes repeat in the coming hours and days, but we remain hopeful.”

The organization said it had seen an uptick in bottlenose dolphins becoming stranded off Cape Cod in the last few years.

“Bottlenose dolphins are typically an offshore species,” the spokesperson said.

They asked that anyone who encounters a stranded or distressed marine mammal not get close and never drag or push the animal back into the water.

“Similar to a person involved in a car accident, dolphins can become injured and exhausted during a stranding event,” the IFAW said.

Instead, they recommend calling their IFAW stranding hotline at 508-743-9548.
