The fact that we didn\u2019t know and just found out because somebody was killed is embarrassing. They need to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy child wasn\u2019t a gang member, my child wasn\u2019t a bad girl, none of that,\u201d Henriquez added. \u201cOur kids go to school and we walk in the street and go to work, but now we don\u2019t even know if they\u2019re going to return.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/yanely-henriquez-mom-featured.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Yambo was killed as she walked down East 156th Street in the South Bronx. \" class=\"wp-image-24799779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/yanely-henriquez-mom-featured.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/yanely-henriquez-mom-featured.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/yanely-henriquez-mom-featured.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Yanely Henriquez\u2019s daughter Angellyh Yambo was killed by a stray bullet shot from a ghost gun on April 8. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">J.C.Rice<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jeremiah Ryan, 17, was arrested and charged with murder for allegedly pulling the trigger, which witnesses said he did during a squabble with about four others.<\/p>\n<p>Less than a month later, 31-year-old David Scott was killed by a ghost gun inside a smoke shop in the Bronx on May 2. <\/p>\n<p>The NYPD \u2014 which doesn\u2019t track ghost gun-specific slayings \u2014 arrested Edison Cruz, 25, for allegedly killing Scott and shooting two others and charged him with murder. <\/p>\n<p>Cruz, who had been arrested the prior year for felony gun possession, was barred from legally owning a firearm due to his criminal history. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/ghost-guns.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Four of the companies reportedly agreed to stop. \" class=\"wp-image-24799780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/ghost-guns.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/ghost-guns.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/ghost-guns.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The city filed federal lawsuits on June 29 against five online ghost gun sellers.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">William Farrington<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In response to the influx of untraceable guns, the city filed federal lawsuits on June 29 against five online ghost gun sellers, four of which have come to agreements with the city to stop their \u201cunlawful behavior,\u201d City Hall spokesman Jonah Allon said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince taking office, Mayor Adams has taken aggressive action to curb the flow of ghost guns into our city, and dam this river feeding the sea of violence,\u201d Allon said, adding that the NYPD has seized over 6,400 illegal guns this year, which includes ghost guns. <\/p>\n<p>The problem is statewide, where there has been a 40% increase in ghost guns recovered \u2014 730 recovered so far this year, compared to 528 in the same period in 2021 \u2014 according to the New York State Police, which called ghost guns \u201cone of the fastest growing public safety problems.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are attractive to criminals because they can be assembled in a matter of hours and are virtually untraceable\u201d New York State Police spokesman Beau Duffy said.<\/p>\n<p>Last October, Gov. Hochul signed legislation making it illegal to sell or possess a ghost gun. The legislation also criminalized the possession of unfinished gun parts that could be turned into a functional firearm.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe remain focused on working with our law enforcement partners to prevent the illegal trafficking of these guns into New York,\u201d Duffy said.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
