Suspect in Death of FDNY EMT to Appear in Court

NEW YORK (NBC New York) - Thursday could be a key day in court for a man accused of stealing an ambulance in the Bronx nearly two years ago and killing a Bronx EMT in the process. Lawyers for Jose Gonzalez and doctors are due in court to try and determine if he is fit to stand trial in the March 2017 killing of Yadira Arroyo, a 14-year EMS veteran and mother of five who was mowed down by her own ambulance trying to stop a thief from hijacking it. Gonzalez has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges in connection with Arroyo’s death. The Department of health, however, has concluded that test results found he was not able mentally to assist in his own defense.
