More than 40,000 New Yorkers have signed on to a petition urging Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz to reopen the conviction of Chanel Lewis, the Brooklyn resident found guilty of murdering Howard Beach resident Karina Vetrano back in 2016.
That petition was delivered to Katz’s Kew Gardens office on Tuesday afternoon by a group of community activists and leaders including members of Color Of Change, VOCAL-NY and Housing Justice for All.
