A disturbing love triangle tragically turned fatal for two young men who were reportedly attempting to date the same woman – a 50-year-old unidentified woman who is identified as “Sarah”.
According to reports, the incident occurred on April 12th at around 10 P.M. 28-year-old Frank Liu was allegedly confronting Neo Secaira, a 17-year-old, at the Love of Christ Presbyterian Church about his romantic involvement with “Sarah”. While it’s unclear what exactly was said or if words were even exchanged, the 17-year-old was shot in the chest.
Then, Liu turned the weapon on himself and fatally shot himself in the head.
Medics rushed the victims to the New York Presbyterian Hospital in Queens, but neither one survived.
This incident is still under investigation. Adding to the mystery, the building’s superintendent told authorities that Liu had just recently returned to the area and moved back in with his parents after living in North Carolina for a few years. Just a few days prior to the shooting, Liu’s building superintendent said he saw Liu return home with a younger woman who looked like she was only 19 years old. The two seemed to be laughing and having a good time. The superintendent said that the two also looked like they could be dating.
Neighbors said that they often heard fighting coming from the apartment where Liu lived, but many neighbors expressed that they thought the fighting came from the parents rather than Liu. The parents had a history of domestic issues.
Neighbors of the 17-year-old were shocked and dismayed by the killing, expressing how the adolescent was a great kid who worked a lot and attended school. He was also known to work on vehicles and was a member of the local high school swimming team.
