Powell attacked Ma from behind, knocking him to the ground and repeatedly kicking his head before fleeing the scene, prosecutors say
A Chinese immigrant who was brutally attacked in April while collecting cans in East Harlem has died of his injuries, and his case is now deemed a homicide, New York City police said on January 8.
Yao Pan Ma (61) died December 31, police said. The attack drew national attention as part of a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in New York and around the country. Jarrod Powell (49) of New York City, was previously charged with attempted murder, felony assault and hate crime charges in the case, which remains under investigation.
A family representative said the charges against Powell should now be enhanced.
