According to the latest update, cops finally nabbed 18-year-old Abu Conteh for the brutal crime and charged him with murder. The victim, 64-year-old Juan Fresnada was beaten so badly that he suffered swelling to his brain and a fractured skull. Fresnada was rushed to the hospital but he was pronounced dead on Saturday, four days after the assault. His partner, Bayron Caceres, who was walking with him at 1:28 am in the Bronx last Tuesday during the time of the attack was not seriously injured.

Conteh was arrested at his home a few miles away from the crime scene and brought to the 42nd Precinct stationhouse after he was identified as one of Fresnanda’s alleged attackers, The New York Daily News reports. Although cops have identified Conteh’s accomplices, they are currently working to track them down.

Caceres told The New York Daily News how Fresnada protected him. He refers to him as his husband but the pair were not legally married. He added:

“My dream was to live another 20 years and I would push him in a wheelchair when he is 80. And we would travel the world together.”

Caceres claimed he did not believe the assault was a hate crime as they were called no homophobic names, the Daily Mail notes.

Parents File Lawsuit Against Doctor & Nurse After Daughter Is Left In Coma From Breast Surgery

Parents of 18-year-old Emmalyn Nguyen have decided to file a lawsuit after their teen daughter allegedly went into a coma following breast enhancement surgery.

According to the lawsuit, Nguyen‘s parents allege that their 18-year-old daughter has been in a coma since her surgery back in August.  The parents filed the lawsuit against Dr. Geoffrey Kim and nurse anesthetist Rex Meeker, who allegedly administered anesthesia before the surgery. The parents accuses them of
negligence, claiming they left Emmalyn “unobserved” for 15 minutes after putting her under the anesthesia. They believe that during those 15 minutes, something went wrong with the anesthesia, according to the lawsuit filed in Boulder County Court.

David Woodruff, the attorney representing Nguyen’s parents, told PEOPLE that,

“It appears that Emmalyn stopped breathing because of improper anesthesia, administered by a nurse instead of an anesthesiologist. But the worst thing is she appears to have been left unattended, not breathing, for up to 15 minutes. It caused her to suffer a massive anoxic brain injury.”

The lawsuit also claims that since August, the Colorado teen has lived “in a permanent ‘semi-conscious’ state” and faces “permanent mental and physical impairment” adding that the teen now requires constant care, including a permanent feeding tube.

Nguyen had went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing after going under the anesthesia before the surgery even began, the lawsuit alleges. Woodruff told the news site that staff at the doctors office allegedly performed CPR on Nguyen twice, and waited five-and-a-half hours before calling 911! Nguyen’s parents were not immediately told that their daughter had gone into cardiac arrest, Woodruff alleges.

“It is incomprehensible that a team of medical professionals, including a plastic surgeon, a nurse-anesthetist, and multiple nurses, would not call 911 for five and a half hours after performing CPR on their patient who had gone into cardiac arrest twice,” he said.

Attorney Douglas Wolanske, who represents Rex Meeker, denies the allegation, telling KDVR:

“Mr. Meeker’s care was reasonable and within the standard of care and we are confident that the facts will bear this out.”

HU Exclusive: “Black and Blue” Cast Talks Making Of The Movie, Why They Would Never Be A Cop & More!

Is #BlackAndBlue just another cop movie? Absolutely not! The action-packed thriller directed by Deon Taylor, takes us into a super intense experience as we follow a BLACK FEMALE cop go through extreme lengths to expose crooked officers in her department to protect the community. Now, although the tone of the film is at times a bit tough to take in, the overall message of it is very inspirational.

Hollywood Unlocked got the chance to chop it up with Taylor and some of the cast including Tyrese Gibson who plays (Mouse), Naomie Harris (Alicia West), who for the first time in cinematic history is a Black female playing a police officer as a lead, Mike Colter (Darius), Frank Grillo (Terry Malone), and Nafessa Williams (Missy.) Taylor shared how important is was for him to drop a movie at this time, especially where it almost feels like art is imitating life. Tyrese added that he thought of a few people who have unfortunately died due to gun violence or at the hands of the police including Nipsey Hussle, Eric Garner, and Tamir Rice — which helped him tap into his role.

While speaking with the cast on their experience filming the movie, we also asked if they ever saw themselves being a cop if they weren’t a director or an actor. Most of the cast honestly answered no while Mike and Deon explained why they wouldn’t completely pass on the thought of it.

That’s not all we talked about. Click the video below to watch the full interview and be sure to catch #BlackAndBlue at your local theater as it’s currently playing now!
