Luis Rojas Cabrera, an unlicensed Bronx spa operator, has been charged with depraved indifference murder for causing the death of 27-year-old Elizabeth Baron after accidentally injecting her with air during an NAD+ anti-aging injection in July. Initially facing lesser charges, Cabrera now faces a more severe charge following the city’s medical examiner ruling Baron's death a homicide due to cardiac air embolism caused by the improper administration of the treatment.

Story summary
Luis Rojas Cabrera, 55, an unlicensed Bronx spa operator, has been hit with an upgraded charge of depraved indifference murder after the death of Elizabeth Baron, 27. The incident occurred on July 19 at his Bereshit Lifestyle Center in Riverdale when he injected her with NAD+ intravenously and accidentally introduced air into her bloodstream, causing cardiac arrest. Initially charged with reckless endangerment and unauthorized practice of a profession, Rojas Cabrera now faces more severe charges following the city medical examiner's determination that Baron’s death was a homicide in late September. The Bereshit Lifestyle Center, which offered various wellness therapies, has been closed since the incident. Assistant District Attorney Ethan Reisbaum argued during an initial arraignment that administering NAD+ via IV requires a prescription from a licensed medical professional.
