On Thursday, two more male suspects were charged in connection with the killing of Kutin Gyimah and were photographed being perp-walked, while police continue to search for the remaining female suspects.

When Gyimah attempted to pursue them, one of the suspects wearing black and yellow sweatpants knocked him to the ground. He fractured his skull, passed out, and was discovered laying on the road near a playground with damage to the back of his head, Independent reported

All five were recorded on security video punching and kicking Gyimah until one of the thugs dealt a deadly hit to his head, leaving the cab driver lifeless on the pavement.

The newly released video shows Gyimah being pummeled by five passengers who refused to pay their price and attempted to rob him in Far Rockaway early Saturday morning, according to investigators. Footage reveals how each of the five seemed to strike the victim, who was unable to protect himself.

Following the incident, suspects were all captured on video laughing as they walked away and inside a residential building. In accordance with the NYPD, two males handed themselves up at the 101st Precinct on Wednesday night, as per Daily Mail.

The second suspect, Nickolas Porter, 20, arrived at the precinct on Wednesday night and was charged with gang assault and theft of services.

"He was my kids' hero," she explained. "He was my backbone. He was the one I looked up to, aside from God, he was the only one I looked up to, and now his life has been cut short just like that." The couple has four children, aged three, five, seven, and eight.

Over the weekend, she remarked, "He was my backbone." "I'm lost right now. My children are here, and I don't know what to do. I'm lost. I'm lost in this world." Gyiham's coworkers regarded him as a restless worker, especially during the height of the coronavirus outbreak, according to ABC7 New York via MSN.
