JOSE GONZALEZ FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER IN 2017 DEATH OF FDNY EMT YADIRA ARROYO

Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that Jose Gonzalez has been found by a jury of the murder of FDNY Emergency Medical Technician Yadira Arroyo, who he ran over with her ambulance nearly six years ago.
District Attorney Clark said, “Jose Gonzalez was convicted today of first-degree Murder in the horrendous death of Yadira Arroyo, a mother of five and 14-year veteran , on March 16, 2017. The road to justice for Yadi was tortuous; this case was delayed because of numerous hearings regarding the defendant’s fitness to stand trial, but her family and colleagues were patient and steadfast from the beginning until today’s verdict. I thank the witnesses, who saw Yadi in her final moments, for their testimonies during the trial. Yadi lives on in the legacy of her children, and in the countless New Yorkers she assisted in their time of need.”
