On May 4, 2022, around 2:30 p.m., 51-year-old Anna Torres was shot and killed in the entrance of her home on 109th Avenue in Ozone Park, Queens. A man knocked; when she answered, he opened fire, striking her in the neck and arm. Her husband, David Aguilar, said he did not know the shooter.

Police identified 41-year-old Giuseppe Canzani of nearby Howard Beach as the person who approached Torres’ home. Canzani walked to the 106th Precinct shortly after the shooting, placed a .45-caliber handgun on the sidewalk and said he was surrendering for the shooting. He was taken into custody and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

Torres worked as a psychic and tarot card reader from her home. Investigators said Canzani held a delusional belief that Torres was a witch who had cursed him; that belief was given as his motive. Torres’ son is a member of the New York City Police Department, which investigators said was unrelated to the shooting.

Did anyone in Ozone Park know Torres or see anything unusual near her home that afternoon?
