On the night of September 9, 2024, Ying Zhu Liu, 57, was shot and killed in her Chinatown apartment building at 44 Market Street, just south of the Manhattan Bridge. Liu, a home health aide, came out of her apartment after hearing a disturbance when two armed men who had followed her husband into the elevator confronted him on the eighth-floor hallway. Her son, 32, was pistol-whipped while trying to intervene. Liu reportedly emerged with a stick and was fatally shot in the face; the assailants fled with the husband’s cell phone.

The NYPD opened an investigation and announced the arrest of a 16-year-old in September 2024; his name was not released because of his age. He was charged with second-degree murder, robbery, burglary, and criminal possession of a weapon. Does anyone have information about that night or about Ying Liu and her family that could help clarify what happened?
