The heartbroken widow of the Good Samaritan who died during a stabbing outside an underground gambling den in Brooklyn is speaking out.
As Zheng s 4-year-old son wiped away his mother s tears, Zheng s widow told Eyewitness News the crime has left her devastated. He heard robbery, he didn t know what was going on, he saw a crime and he tried to stop it, his widow, Jin Zhao, said through a translator.
But it was not a bias attack, after all. It was an armed robbery outside an illegal gambling hall. We want to cry, Chen said. These bad men didn t just kill Mr. Zheng, they killed an entire family.
