A 50-year-old woman who was stabbed inside her home by her father-in-law last week has died from her injuries, police said earlier today.

On March 28, Wen Ying He, a Ridgewood resident, was attacked by her father-in-law Dahe Lin, 76, inside the home they shared at 1724 Suydam St. Police officers responding to the incident found Lin on top of He, having tried to strangle her before stabbing her in the neck.

An unresponsive He was transported in critical condition to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where she succumbed to her injuries three days later. The reason for the attack is still unknown.

Lin was previously charged with attempted murder, but he will now face murder charges. He has also been charged with criminal possession of a weapon.

Holden calls out Mayor Adams—will he reopen ICE office on Rikers Island and tackle migrant crime?

One day after Mayor Eric Adams expressed his willingness to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on addressing the migrant crisis and signaled a readiness to meet with former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) head Tom Homan, Council Member Robert Holden called on the mayor to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.

Holden, who represents District 30 in Queens, which encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, and parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, has been advocating for changes to the city’s sanctuary policies since July. In a letter, he previously urged the mayor to roll back laws that restrict local law enforcement agencies—including the NYPD, Department of Correction, and Department of Probation—from cooperating with ICE.
