New York City man indicted on charges of second-degree murder as a hate crime in the April assault of a 61-year-old Chinese immigrant who died months after the attack.
Thursday that Jarrod Powell, 50, had been charged in a New York State Supreme Court indictment in the April 23 attack on Yao Pan Ma.“The devastating death of Yao Pan Ma, a beloved father of two, occurred amidst a surge of anti-Asian attacks targeting our families, friends, neighbors, and New York values,” Bragg said in a statement. “As alleged, Jarrod Powell selectively attacked Mr. Ma for no other reason than his race.
The defendant then allegedly fled the scene as Ma lay unconscious on the street corner where the attack unfolded, according to Bragg’s office. Following his arrest, Powell made statements to law enforcement in which he said he had been attacked by two Korean or Japanese men the day before he allegedly launched his assault on Ma, according to Bragg's office.
On Thursday, Bragg said his office was currently prosecuting at least 33 hate crime cases “driven by anti-Asian bias,” which he said was “unfortunately, the most we have had since our Hate Crimes Unit was established in 2010.”
