Bronx Man Guilty In Brutal Murder At Elmhurst Train Station: DA

ELMHURST, QUEENS -- It took just 11 minutes for a jury to convict a Bronx man in the brutal 2013 murder of a 69-year-old Queens man at an Elmhurst train station.

Jurors found Steven Torres, 27, guilty on Thursday of viciously slashing the man to death in broad daylight underneath the 90th Street-Elmhurst Avenue 7 train station, ending a weeklong trial over the years-old case.

Torres viciously attacked and stabbed Ever Orozco repeatedly after the Woodside man drove his wife at a doctor's office and parked near the subway station at around 1 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2013, according to trial testimony.

Orozco later died at a nearby Queens hospital.

"The victim in this case was killed in a violent, unprovoked attack," said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. "The defendant fatally stabbed an innocent bystander in a senseless act of rage."

Torres was convicted of second-degree murder for the slashing and is set to be sentenced on June 8.

He faces up to 25 years to life in prison.
