Three indicted for manslaughter over 2018 construction worker death
The operator of a construction company and two other men were indicted on manslaughter charges Thursday over the 2018 death of a construction worker who was crushed by a falling wall at an unsafe work site, the Brooklyn district attorney announced Thursday.
Three others were indicted on various other charges, ranging from criminally negligent homicide to financial crimes.
Jiaxi “Jimmy” Liu, Wilson Garcia Jr., and Paul Bailey were all charged with second-degree manslaughter for the death of Luis Almonte Sanchez, a laborer at the Sunset Park construction site who died when the 15,000-45,000 pound wall fell — despite workers and neighbors warning of unsafe conditions at the site before the tragedy.
