On October 23rd in the confines of the 111th precinct, 29-year-old Vanessa Pierre and her unborn baby were found deceased laying facedown on the sidewalk off of Horace Harding Expressway.

Earlier this morning, Goey Charles was apprehended and arrested for the heinous act of killing Vanessa.

Great investigate work done by the @NYPD111Pct Detective Squad, Regional Fugitive Task Force, and @NYPDQueensNorth Homicide. A special thank you to @NassauCountyPD for assisting in the apprehension.

I also want to acknowledge our partnership with the Queens District Attorney’s office during this case.

Keep up the great work and stay safe.
