Police On The Hunt For Styles P Lookalike After A 41-Yr-Old Bronx Man Dies From Beating [Video]

NYDAILYNEWS : A Bronx man collapsed and died after a creep punched him to the ground and then kicked him in the head, police said Tuesday. Willy Montilla, 41, was felled by three punches to the chest at about 9:45 a.m. Monday by Westchester Ave. and Hugh Grant Circle in Parkchester, police said. His attacker then kicked him twice in the head. Montilla struggled to his feet, tried to hail a cab and fell to the ground unconscious. Sources said a cabbie mistakenly thought Montilla was drunk and refused to take the fare. Investigators are awaiting autopsy results to determine if the beating is what killed Montilla, who died after emergency personnel took him to Jacobi Medical Center. An NYPD spokesman couldn’t say Tuesday night what led to the attack. Longtime gal pal Yvette Pagan remembered Montilla as the “cool guy” in their Fordham Heights neighborhood, saying that he took care of her children as if they were his own. “He was always here for me and my kids,” Pagan said. “He loved children. Everybody, he cared for everybody.” Pagan said Montilla was on disability and collected scrap metal and painted on the side. He moved to Parkchester three months ago. She didn’t know why the men were arguing or if Montilla knew his attacker. “He never was in trouble like fighting,” Pagan added. “I don’t know if he even knew people over there.” Police released photos of a man wanted for questioning in the assault. He’s described as 25 to 35 years old and between 5-foot-7 and 6 feet tall. He wore sunglasses, a dark-colored hooded sweater, light blue jeans, black boots and a black baseball cap, cops said.

Parking spaces become parks in hundreds of cities

On a busy street in Los Angeles, a neighborhood association took up seven parking spots and set up a hangout with a grill, a kiddie pool and a gardening workshop to teach people how to grow drought-tolerant plants. In Chicago, an architecture firm turned two parking spaces into a pit stop where bicyclists can chill out on a grassy knoll and refuel on drinks and snacks. In New York City, theater students from Fordham University staged a “Shakespeare in the Parking Spot” festival
