On a cold January night in 1995, 15-year-old Melinda Wynns was at a second-floor apartment in the Skyline Terrace complex in College Point, Queens, with friends Carla Lopez, 15, Paola Lopez, 17, and Ana Figueroa, 19. Three men — Saul Angulo, 20, his uncle Enrique Rodriguez, 28, and Richard Iasasi, 40 — forced their way in, armed with guns, and held the occupants for about seven hours while searching for money and valuables.
The intruders executed Maria Esperanza Ramirez, 42, Alex DeJesus Calle Soto, 29, and another man, Pablo Gomez, 30, then turned on the young women. Melinda Wynns, Carla and Paola Lopez, Ramirez, Calle Soto, and Gomez were killed; Ana Figueroa survived severe wounds and later testified about the attack. The three suspects were arrested; Rodriguez and Angulo were convicted and received lengthy prison terms, and Iasasi was captured in Mexico, extradited, and also sentenced to extensive prison time.
Does anyone have information about the victims or memories of the Skyline Terrace community that could shed more light on that night?
