The brother of Kyriakos Vogiatzakis shared his anger and sadness Tuesday as he recalled what he felt went wrong the night his brother was assaulted and died outside his St. James restaurant.
Those emotions fueled Mike Vogiatzakis’ plea for an inquiry into the death of his younger brother.
Kyriakos, the 51-year-old owner of Cork and Flame, died on Jan. 24 after being assaulted outside his business.
“I have a lot of anger built up in me. I have a lot of frustration built up in me,” said Mike, speaking to the media Tuesday.
“I cannot believe my brother died at the hospital. My brother died on the street.”
Mike said his family was able to track how long it took first responders to get to the scene using a video captured by a witness. The family said Kyriakos was lying on the ground outside his restaurant for 25 minutes from the time 911 was called to when he finally received medical care.
“The ambulance showed up at 5:55 p.m. My brother was on the street for 25 minutes.”
