D’Angelo Caraballo, 25, and Sneider Mejia, 24, were arrested while hiding in a basement in Lynn, Massachusetts, after they slashed an off-duty NYPD detective during a failed robbery attempt in the Bronx on Friday. The men, who are from the Dominican Republic and entered the U.S. illegally under the Biden administration, had previously been arrested multiple times but released due to sanctuary city policies. They face attempted murder charges and will be returned to New York City for prosecution.

Story summary
On Friday, September 29, an off-duty NYPD Detective Jose Mercedes was violently attacked while clearing out his car trunk at East 208th Street and Rochambeau Avenue in Norwood, Bronx. Around 1:45 p.m., two suspects on e-bikes ambushed the detective, stabbing him seven times before fleeing with his gold chain. The injured detective, a ten-year veteran of the NYPD, was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center where he received treatment and eventually recovered, being released from the hospital days later.
The suspects were identified as 25-year-old D'Angelo Caraballo and 24-year-old Sneider Mejia, an illegal alien with a pending ICE detainer. After evading capture for several days, they were apprehended by US Marshals in a basement home in Lynn, Massachusetts, and will be extradited to New York City to face attempted murder charges. The incident sparked discussions about immigration policies and law enforcement support.
