U-Haul driver who ‘intentionally targeted and mowed down’ innocent people, including dad of 3, indicted for murder: DA – By Matt Naham (Law & Crime) / May 8, 2023
The driver of a U-Haul who allegedly “intentionally targeted and mowed down” an “innocent pedestrian and numerous cyclists” in February, killing one, was indicted on two dozen charges.
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office said Monday that 62-year-old Weng Sor, formerly of Las Vegas, Nevada, was indicted on 25 counts, including second-degree murder, attempted first-degree and second-degree murder, first-degree and second-degree assault, and attempted first-degree assault.
Sor, who reportedly has a history of mental illness and previously served time in Nevada for stabbing his own brother and a neighbor, allegedly believed Feb. 13, 2023 was “judgment day.” The rampage that ensued injured 9 civilians, two cops, and killed YiJie Ye, a 44-year-old father of three who was riding an e-bike when he was fatally struck near Bay Ridge Parkway and Fifth Avenue. Ye, a food delivery service worker, sustained fatal injuries to his head.
