Woo Lotti Case Timeline: from the 2020 Bronx Assault to Ongoing Legal Verdicts
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Justin Carpio’s final minutes unfolded around 8:30 p.m. on April 18, 2020. Walking near the intersection of East 140th Street and St. Ann’s Avenue, Carpio found himself isolated in territory claimed by rival factions. Street crews affiliated with opposing neighborhood blocks spotted him immediately. Words were exchanged briefly before Carpio turned and ran west down 140th Street toward Alexander Avenue.
The chase lasted less than two blocks. He tripped near a parked vehicle, allowing his pursuers to swarm him. The attackers kicked, punched, and battered him with objects within arm's reach. During the melee, weapons were drawn. Carpio struggled to defend himself on the concrete before the group scattered across nearby housing developments. Bystanders phoned emergency services, but Carpio was non-responsive by the time first responders loaded him into an ambulance bound for Lincoln Medical Center.
