Things went left after a few teens were play fighting this week in a Far Rockaway apartment that ended in a death. Wilta “Taya” Wordsworth was only 15 years old and was shot and killed in her own home by her alleged friend.
DNA Tests Confirm Remains Found Were Definitely Avonte Oquendo
Late last week, body parts were found in the river 11 miles from where 14-year-old autistic teen Avonte Oquendo walked out of school and went missing back in October, and today, DNA tests confirm what most feared: they are his. An arm, torso, legs, a skull and teeth were all recovered, but thankfully, police say the remains appear to have separated via decomposition, NOT a violent act. As of now, they believe that Avonte was being chased by a dog (sadly, one of his biggest fears), tripped and fell down a steep hill that landed him in the water. His family has yet to make a statement. So truly sad, but at least they have SOME sort of closure. RIP, Avonte!
