Couple Sentenced for Attempted Murder in Parking Dispute
**Queens, NY** – Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced the sentencing of Arturo Cuevas and Daisy Barrera to 14 years in prison after their guilty plea to attempted murder charges. The charges stem from a March 2023 assault on their 28-year-old neighbor over a parking space conflict.
The defendants pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted murder before Queens Supreme Court Justice Mary L. Bejarano on January 7. The sentence was delivered after a video of the attack shocked the city.
According to charges, the incident occurred on March 17, 2023, around 3:40 p.m. Cuevas and Barrera attacked their neighbor Wilson Chabla Lliguicota with weapons over a prior parking dispute, resulting in serious injuries.
The attack ended when police arrived, leading to the couple’s arrest after a standoff. Lliguicota, left with severe brain trauma and unable to return to his job, required extensive medical treatment. The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Alexia Campoverde.
