A New York man was charged on Wednesday in the killing of a World War I veteran who was killed while on his way to get a haircut in Queens in 1976, the Queens District Attorney’s office said in a release.
Motta remained unidentified for two years after only partial remains of a torso and pelvis were found.
"After 45 years, the alleged killer of a WWI Veteran is being held accountable and brought to justice," Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a release. "We hope the identification of the remains and the indictment in this case will begin to bring peace and closure to his loved ones. This indictment serves as an example of how police and prosecutors work together to bring individuals alleged to have committed crimes to justice, regardless of how much time passes or how many obstacles are placed in our path."
