Man Charged with Killing Girlfriend, Infant Daughter
BRONX, NEW YORK, November 7- District Attorney Robert T. Johnson announced the indictment of a 21-year-old Manhattan man, Eligido Lind, for allegedly murdering his ex-girlfriend and their one month old daughter.
The grand jury has charged Lind, of East 129th Street, Manhattan, with one count of murder in the first degree, two counts of murder in the second degree, two counts of manslaughter in the first degree, and one count of criminal Possession of a Weapon in the fourth degree. The most serious offense, murder in the first degree, is a Class A-1 felony offense punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
The charges in the indictment are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
An additional felony charge of Arson in the third degree is still pending before the grand jury.
It is alleged in court papers that Lind caused the death of Luisa Rodriguez, 32, by “repeatedly stabbing her with a sharp object or objects” in her head, neck, arms and torso. Lind allegedly also caused the death of, Angela Rodriguez-Lind, his daughter,” by inflicting blunt force trauma” to the infant’s head and neck.
The bodies of the mother and newborn child were discovered on Thursday, October 25, 2012 when firefighters went to an apartment at 3034 Albany Crescent, the Bronx in response to a fire that the defendant allegedly had set.
Lind is scheduled to be arraigned on the indictment before State Supreme Court Justice Judith Lieb on Friday, December 7, 2012 in State Supreme Court, Part H-73.

Sports is Secondary in Sandy Aftermath
(Photos by Dan Gesslein)
By Rich Mancuso
BRONX, NEW YORK, November 5- There is no need to be concerned about the NFL this weekend, or a college football game. Or the Knicks, Nets, and baseball free agency for that matter. And if the New York City Marathon had stayed on schedule, that would have been a tragedy,
Nothing is more important now than getting back to normal in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, or whatever type of storm that it was which hit the Bronx and tri state area. Sports, as much as it heals the wounds is secondary.
Because over the last few days this writer has been a victim of a tragedy, as well as seeing neighbors and friends suffer the same path. There is no power, no heat or hot water to keep warm, no power to cook a warm meal, no way to utilize technology,
The television and computer are useless in places that have become a dark age for the moment.
It’s simple, sports is secondary, though to many of those 40,000 plus runners who came to New York for an annual marathon, a 26-mile race was more important to them than the safety and security of those affected by the storm.
This is not the aftermath of September 2001. Sports became a diversion and tried to calm the storm of destruction and pain. Major League Baseball resumed a week later, and the NFL canceled their games for a week.
And when sports resumed, it seemed we got back to normal. But, not this time. The look of pain is etched on their faces, of those feeling an impact in the Bronx. Getting back to normal and resuming their lives are the most important factors in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Reading with a candle and flashlight, that defines an explanation in the early days of November 2012.
This writer had to relocate for the time being. Sports, is not a priority for the moment as much as it consumes a majority of the time. Away from family and friends right now is not the place to be. They are there to help and offer support as they have been affected as well.
We look for solutions as to how a huge metropolis and a vast area of the Bronx could be silenced in 2012. No use of technology for now, silenced from news and events of the storm, and relying on the old transistor radio to stay updated.
You see neighbors in need. A tenement silenced without power, heat, and gas to live and function, and a neighbor from her second floor window, screaming and pleading for help, early in the morning, on day two of the aftermath of Sandy.
This is 2012, and in a world of technology nothing could be done to prevent human tragedy from a killer storm that hit the Bronx and tri-state area.
And, through it all, the power companies have done their best restoring power to the millions who have been in the dark. But, as seen in the Bronx, not enough has been done. Crews and trucks are still assessing damages and determining what has to be done to restore power in many communities that are in need.
Yes, forget about sports for the moment. Restoring normalcy is the game plan right now.
However, the prevailing questions are, when will we get back to normal? When can we return to our homes? When will the power be restored? To a layman not familiarized with the topic of power and energy that can be a waiting game of no more.
