Vigil honors victims of U-Haul rampage
The community held a candlelight vigil Monday night for the victims of last week’s deadly U-Haul rampage.
Mayor Eric Adams joined local leaders, residents and the victims’ family members on Fifth Avenue and Bay Ridge Parkway, where deliveryman YiJie Ye, 44, was fatally injured while riding his e-bike Feb. 13.
Eight others were hurt as the U-Haul cut a path of destruction through the streets of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Sunset Park. One of the victims, 36-year-old Mohammed Salah Rakchi, is still in critical condition.
