Here’s another story to add to our list of Chinese food deliverymen who were murdered/brutally attacked:
The Associated Press reports:
- A man who lured a Chinese food deliveryman to a housing development and then viciously stabbed him has been convicted of attempted murder, the Queens district attorney’s office said Wednesday.
The attacker — alarmed by his victim’s loud screams — ran away as 39-year-old Jian Lin Huang lay on the floor, bleeding profusely.
David Moore, 23, of Manhattan was arrested after TV stations aired security video from the October 2006 crime scene at the Ravenswood Houses in Astoria. He was convicted late Tuesday of second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault and fourth-degree weapon possession.
Moore, who is jailed on $300,00 bail, faces up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced on April 23.

Tammy Peng walked out of a popular Asian supermarket in Hacienda Heights and was attacked by a man trying to steal her purse.
Peng, a lawyer with the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, said she was lucky to get away with just bumps and scratches. But she said many others in the Asian community have not been as lucky.
That’s why she assembled a forum Saturday aimed at the Asian community with officials from cities, business and law enforcement. While Peng said purse snatchings and other types of property stealing are frequent for Asian-Americans out shopping at specialty stores, many of the crimes go unreported.
