An Ecuadorean immigrant died today, two days after four thugs yelling anti-gay and racist slogans beat him to a pulp in an attack city cops and politicians declared a hate crime.
Jose Sucuzhañay, 31, clung to life at Elmhurst Hospital Center as the Hate Crimes Task Force combed the streets of Bushwick, Brooklyn, looking for the suspects. "He's always been a fighter," Sucuzhañay's younger brother, Diego, said last night, expressing hope his brother, one of 11 siblings, would pull through.
Sucuzhañay was walking arm and arm with his brother Romel Sunday morning near their home on Kossuth Place, officials said. An SUV drove past packed with thugs. One passenger yelled anti-gay remarks, officials said. The driver yelled, "f-ing Spanish," said a police source. The men in the SUV, described as African-American, then chased the pair. One clubbed Romel with a beer bottle while the others beat Jose with a bat. Romel Sucuzhañay managed to escape and Jose Sucuzhañay "was left for dead," said an angry City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. His bloodied brother returned to the chaos, clutching his cell phone, telling the attackers that he had just phoned 911. The attack pack then sped off. People who know Sucuzhañay were shaken at the brutal attack. "He is a peaceful person," said Julia Osman, who works as a listing agent at Sucuzhañay's real estate agency in Bushwick. "He wouldn't hurt a fly. We don't know why it happened." Ramona Estavez, 40, said Jose Sucuzhañay was the landlord at her Ridgewood, Queens, home and treated his tenants kindly. "He was a good person," she said. The attack came less than three weeks after seven Long Island teenagers were charged in the fatal stabbing of another immigrant from Ecuador.
