NYC Parks Worker Indicted for Hate Crime in Migrant's Fatal Shooting

Elijah Mitchell faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder, for the alleged premeditated killing of Arturo Jose Rodriguez Marcano.

Mitchell, a 23-year-old temporary parks worker, allegedly shot the Venezuelan migrant in Brooklyn's Steuben Playground on July 21.
Prosecutors claim the motive was animosity toward migrants after an earlier confrontation at the park.
Mitchell has pleaded not guilty, denying ownership of the gun and involvement in the shooting.
If convicted, Mitchell could face a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
The case has heightened concerns about violence against migrants in New York City.
