NYC fishmonger says melee could have been avoided if victim ‘wasn’t stealing’
New York Post ^ | February 25, 2023 | Georgett Roberts

A Harlem fishmonger left battered during a fatal melee over shrimp at a Manhattan fish market, said the ugly episode could have been avoided.

“I saw what he was doing. He was stealing. If he wasn’t stealing, nothing would have happened,” injured worker Francisco Morales told The Post of the man accused of trying to rob the store.

Morales, 38, was hurt during Tuesday’s chaos at the Fish Express Fish Mart, when Robert “Bobby” Burrell, and his brother, Malik, allegedly entered the store to steal shrimp and began assaulting him.

Another worker, Junior Hernandez, intervened and ultimately stabbed the Burrell brothers, killing the 25-year-old Malik,..

...

Hernandez was initially charged with murder, but the charges were quickly reduced to assault. The move mirrors the case of bodega worker Jose Alba, who fatally stabbed an ex-con attacking him in Hamilton Heights in July and was initially charged with murder.

Bobby Burrell, 29, who was injured when Hernandez came to Morales’ aid, was charged with felony burglary and arraigned in his bed at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan Friday. He was released shortly thereafter

...

Manhattan prosecutors asked that Bobby be freed on his own recognizance when he is released from the hospital.

...

The wife of Junior Hernandez is calling for the DA to drop the charges against her husband.

Maybe they thought it was Endless Shrimps, like at Red Lobster.

He wasn’t a “victim.” He is a criminal.

Robert “Bobby” Burrell, the brother and co-conspirator of the perp Malik, was charged with felony burglary and arraigned in his bed at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan...

...and needs to be charged with Felony Murder.

Usually, when someone is killed during the commission of a felony, the suspect is charged with murder, even if they didn't directly cause the death. Does NY not have such a statute?

Right? Someone was killed during the commission of a crime - isn’t that a thing anymore, or do DA’s simply rely on supposed victim status when pressing charges? A pair of Asian brothers committing th8s crime, where one was killed, would have had drastically different charges filed, I wager.

Absolutely! And the assault charge against Junior needs to be dropped and replaced with medals for heroism and merit.
