Gunman who shot 2 NYPD cops revealed to be migrant who recently crossed into US via Eagle Pass

[NY Post] Two cops were shot in Queens early Monday, allegedly by a 19-year-old Venezuelan migrant they tried to stop on a motorized scooter, police and sources said.

The officers had tried to pull over the teen, identified as Bernardo Castro Mata, after allegedly spotting him driving the wrong way down a street at 89th St. and 23rd Ave. in Elmhurst at about 1:40 am, police said.

The suspect quickly ditched the moped and fled on foot for several blocks, according to cops.

During the pursuit, the teen allegedly pulled out a gun and fired multiple rounds at the officers.

One of the officers took a bullet to the leg while the other was struck in the front of his bulletproof vest.

At least one of the returned officers fired and struck the alleged perp in the ankle.

The teen, who has no criminal history in the Big Apple, is a suspect in several current robbery investigations in Queens, NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban said.

He has been living at the migrant shelter in the former Courtyard Marriot Hotel near LaGuardia Airport, Caban added.

It wasn’t immediately clear how long he’d been in the Big Apple but law enforcement sources told The Post he entered the US via Eagle Pass, Texas, at some point last year.

He was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens for treatment.

#7 A Venezuelan recently told me that Maduro let out hard criminals to raise hell. Just like Castro did in the Mariel Boat Lift..and then the Atlanta jail riots.

I'm guessing the Cubans who run the Maduro Intell system were the nexus of that idea.
