Jimenez was rushed to Queens Hospital Center and died later that morning from his injuries.
According to the charges, on Monday, Sept. 19, at approximately 2:40 a.m., the defendant became involved in a dispute with the victim Freddy Jimenez at a bus stop near the intersection of 69th Street and Roosevelt Avenue. The defendant stabbed the victim multiple times with a knife then left the scene. Police later recovered a knife from a backyard nearby.
Continuing, said DA Katz, Jimenez was transported by emergency medical service personnel to Queens Hospital Center and died later that morning from his injuries.
District Attorney Katz added, “As alleged, the defendant viciously took the life of another man over little more than a heated exchange of words on the street. We will not tolerate violence infiltrating our daily interactions and destroying of our sense of public safety in Queens County. He has been indicted and now faces justice in our courts.”
If convicted, Osorio faces 25 years to life in prison.
