ALBANY – The state Senate is pushing for passage of a bill that would have kept the man charged with killing Bronx EMS worker Yadira Arroyo behind bars.

Sen. Martin Golden, a retired cop from Brooklyn, said he wants penalties increased for gang members like Jose Gonzalez. Golden’s bill would raise the level of charges in violent crimes perpetrated by gang members.

Gonzalez goes by “Breezy Blood” and is a member of the Bloods gang with 31 prior arrests for violent crimes, including assault, robbery and weapons possession.

“He should not have been walking the streets,” Golden said.

Golden’s bill would make it a felony to participate in a pattern of gang-related activities, increasing penalties to include prison time for those who engage in more than one gang activity. It also mandates gang prevention programs in schools.

The bill was passed in the Senate last year and included in the GOP-controlled budget. It has a match in the Assembly but the Democrat-controlled chamber has held it in committee, preventing it from going to the floor for a vote.

Sen. Thomas Croci, who represents Brentwood, where two teens were killed with baseball bats and machetes while on their way to school, said there’s a new “brand of narco-terrorism” that’s taking the lives of young people through addiction and gang violence.

“That is the brand of justice that MS-13 brings to young girls who are walking to school,” he said. “They just decided they were going to beat them to death and kill them with bats and machetes.”

Thirteen alleged gang members, including 10 who are here illegally, were arrested in the slayings of Nisa Mickens, 15, and Kayla Cuevas, 16, who were best friends and not involved in gangs.

“The left needs to wake up,” said Sen. Fred Akshar, a law enforcement veteran from central New York. “We can’t turn a blind eye to this. We have to deal with this issue now and hold people accountable.”
