My Mom Shares the 9 Best Korean Eye Creams to Reduce Wrinkles and Plump Your Skin
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." My mom is a Korean eye cream savant and is often working with several tubes and pots at once. She has either tried or is currently using several items on this list specifically for firming her under-eye area. She loves a Korean eye cream, but what characteristics define them? Well, Korean eye cream formulas either are packed with hydrating, firming ingredients such as ginseng or have actives such as retinoids to reduce fine lines. Retinols, retinal, and bakuchiol can be irritating, especially around the eye; therefore, the Korean philosophy around actives is the use of a low percentage consistently. Other soothing ingredients, such as centella asiatica, are often added to calm the skin. For the hydrating formulas, ensuring the skin barrier is protected is of the utmost priority. Often, a mixture of probiotics is used to balance the skin's microbiome. Multi-molecular weight collagen, peptides, and hyaluronic acids ensure the ingredients penetrate different layers of the skin, therefore making hydration more efficient. Besides the formulation, eye creams are often packaged in tubes to be more hygienic and preserve the product better. Some applicators can also be used to massage to product in making the experience much more rejuvenating. Here are my picks for the best Korean eye creams, with many notable suggestions from my 3D Lifting Eye & Wrinkle Cream Best For: Mature skin, plumping, firming If adding volume to your eye area is your concern, look no further. BIOHEAL's rejuvenating eye cream uses plumping probiotics to rebuild skin barrier strength. An array of peptides returns elasticity to the delicate skin around your eyes, making it a great pick for those with fine lines. $60.00 at Youth Contour Eye Cream This is one of my mom's favorite eye creams, and she has been using it for years. Derived from 30-year-old wild ginseng, an ingredient studies say helps reduce wrinkles, photoaging, and even keloids. The eye cream is a testament to Korean culture, presented in a traditional bojagi, a traditional Korean wrapping cloth, and featuring a golden phoenix. $330.00 at Eye Serum On your next Sephora or Amazon run, you can check out the Beauty of Joseon eye cream that won a prestigious 2024 Olive Young Award. It contains ginseng root extract and retinal to brighten, lift, and smooth the eye area. Plus, we love that it absorbs quickly, can be layered under makeup, and can even double as face cream in a pinch. Customer review: "I've been using this eye cream for a few weeks now and I can already see a difference. My dark circles look brighter and the skin under my eyes feels smoother and more hydrated. I love that it contains ginseng and retinal—two powerful yet gentle ingredients for the delicate under-eye area." —Maria $12.90 at Centella Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream This eye cream comes with a slanted applicator tip, which makes application a breeze. Inside the tube, you'll find a combination of bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol alternative) and fermented Madagascan centella asiatica to target fine lines while also calming the skin. Customer review: "Best eye cream I have ever tried! I have only used it for two weeks and I notice a change in my under eyes, they look less dark and the skin looks smoother and less fine lines." —Dayana G. $14.98 at Collagen Under Eye Patches While not technically an eye cream, these ampoule patches pack so much hydration into the skin that it is impossible not to add them to this list. The cooling jelly texture of the hydrogel floods the under-eye area with retinol and collagen to combat wrinkles and volume loss. Plus, the patches can also be used on your nasolabial folds, forehead, and other areas of concern. Customer review: "I've been using these under-eye patches for a few weeks now, and I'm absolutely impressed! As someone who's 39, I've started to notice more puffiness and fine lines around my eyes, so I've been on the lookout for something to help. These patches have been a game-changer. They're incredibly hydrating and feel so refreshing when applied. I immediately notice a reduction in puffiness, and my under-eye area looks brighter and more awake."—StreeterK $22.00 at Unscented Eye Cream This cult-classic depuffing Korean eye cream from Purito works for even the most sensitive skin. The lightweight mixture of Centella asiatica and peptides quickly calms irritation and sinks into the under-eye area. Customer review: "Excellent eye cream to hydrate, moisturize and soothe under the eye area (without causing any irritation). I have had very sensitive skin my whole life and have tried many products to find a simple eye cream to gently soothe and hydrate the delicate eye area. Look no further, this product is it! Highly recommend this gentle and soothing eye cream!!" —Rubychild $11.90 at Shot Eye Cream For Face This eye cream is packed with peptides, collagen, and retinol to plump fine lines around the eyes and reduce dark circles, making it the ideal choice for mature skin. Plus, the applicator feels cooling and refreshing on puffy skin. Customer review: "I have tried so many eye cream in the past from drug store to high end and honestly I did not see much difference when using a eye cream. However, this product blows my mind. After 3 days of using this product, I actually saw improvement in my eye and neck wrinkles. I like the applicator because it helps to depuff my swollen eyes in the product also helps to moisturize the under-eye area & does not cause any milia. Highly recommended to all skin types." $60.00 at Revolution Real Eye Cream For Face The brand AHC is on this list twice, for good reason. One hundred million units of this cream have been sold, which is equivalent to each Korean person buying 2.5 tubes of this eye cream. This is my mom's current eye cream, and she loves the creamy texture that hydrates without being greasy or thick. The famous formula contains 84 types of proteins, 16 different vitamins, 10 types of collagen, and 11 types of hyaluronic acid to depply penetrate the skin, leaving it plump, hydrated, and smooth. Customer review: "This is a repurchase. I really like this eye cream (which I use all over my face too). Making a difference on my fine lines already after about 6 weeks of use, and it is very hydrating too. Non-irritating to my eczema too. And I love that this package came with 2 full size tubes, 2 travel size tubes, and a guasha!" $60.00 at Squalane Panthenol Eye Cream For Face Balm I love the face cream version of this product, so I was particularly excited when the eye cream came out. Here's what makes it great: squalane and panthenol lock in moisture, while the inclusion of soy yogurt biome helps regulate the skin. This is the eye cream to try if you have a damaged skin barrier and need a little extra TLC. $60.00 at More K-Beauty Favorites: The 11 Best K-Beauty Exfoliators for Bright, Smooth Skin The 9 Best K-Beauty Sheet Masks for Glowing, Glass Skin The 12 Essential K-Beauty Face Serums for Glowing Skin The 8 Best K-Beauty Vitamin C Serums to Unlock Brighter Skin The 18 Best K-Beauty Lip Products, According to ExpertsWhy trust Harper's Bazaar?

102 Weird Facts That Are Wild, Random, And Fun
I don't know about anyone else, but I love learning interesting, bizarre, and straight-up weird facts about anything and everything. (In fact, it's quite a conversation starter.) That said, here are some wacky, intriguing, strange, and somewhat funny facts that sound somewhat fake but are entirely true: Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America. In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill Bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures. And you know what? Good for them. Dogs are one of the three deadliest animals in the UK. The other two are bees and cows. Sloths are slow in everything they do — including digestion. Because they digest foods so slowly, they basically have to breathe out their farts because they can't *actually* fart. If a bunch of gas builds up in a sloth's intestines, it could get sick and potentially even burst. Rather than farting, the gases are reabsorbed into the bloodstream and are then respired out of the about morning breath. There are caves in Missouri that store 1.4 billion pounds of government-owned cheese. Located deep in the Ozark Mountains in limestone-converted mines, the caves are kept at a perfect 36°F. As someone who's lactose intolerant, my stomach is in knots just thinking about it. This one actually made me do a double-take: Cornflakes were invented to suppress sexual impulses and desires. John Harvey Kellogg invented cornflakes in 1894, but it was later used as part of an extreme diet promoted by his church to basically suppress horniness. Kellog thought sex and masturbation were abnormal and unhealthy, so he believed cornflakes — and their lack of flavor — would help fight off any desire. Cockroach dust plays a part in why so many inner-city children have asthma. A single cloud can weigh about 550 tons or more. Believe it or not, Canadians eat more Kraft macaroni and cheese than Americans. Like, 55% more. Giraffes in the wild only sleep for around five minutes at a time. Because of the dangers they face in the wild, not only do they sleep while standing, but they also sleep intermittently so that they're prepared to run at any given moment. If keeping watch for a giraffe as they slept was a job, I'd apply in a heartbeat. Snoop Dogg's government name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. Despite being four inches long, the mantis shrimp throws the fastest punch in the world. The definition of small but mighty, mantis shrimps can throw punches up to 50mph — enough to break through their glass tanks. In Switzerland, owning only one guinea pig or parrot is illegal. If you're drunk or violent in Japan, police will take a plastic sheet and roll you up like a burrito. Police in Japan rarely ever resort to violence, as they choose to de-escalate the situation at hand first. After the wrapping, police will take the drunk or violent person to the station to let them calm down. If they wanted to, Clownfish could change their sex, including reproductive organs, through an irreversible process. No one commits to the bit better than Toni Collete. When she was a teen, she faked having appendicitis to get out of going to school so well that she actually got her appendix taken out. There's a rare neurological disorder called Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, which is a condition related to how you perceive your body, the world around you, or both. A grizzly bear's bite is strong enough to crush a bowling ball, but that won't stop my first instinct from being, "Aww, look how cute!" Twice a month, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport brings in miniature horses to help calm the nerves of people with flying anxiety. Male ducks have corkscrew-shaped penises. Miss Piggy's original name was going to be Piggy Lee. Fabulous either way. If you say you're not afraid of anything, I have some news for you: Humans are innately born with the fear of falling and loud noises. Whatever other fears one may have are shaped or learned with experience. Considering gelatin is made up of animal skin and bones, gummy worms technically have more bones than actual worms (since worms don't have any). Lady Gaga, bless her heart, once spent $50K on a ghost detector. To protect themselves from their super-strong pecks, woodpeckers wrap their tongues around their brains. What a cool party trick. For her role in Winter's Bone, Jennifer Lawrence learned how to skin a squirrel. Pound cake is called that because the original recipe used one pound of each ingredient. In the Great Barrier Reef, there's a coral reef that's taller than the Empire State Building. Male giraffes will taste a female giraffe's urine to see if she is ready to mate. Even in the animal kingdom, men cannot mind their business. On average, lightning strikes Earth 100 times per second. It saddens me to report that Winnie the Pooh was banned from a Polish playground because the honey-obsessed bear doesn't wear pants. As if it's his fault! Attempting to get kids to eat more vegetables, McDonald's engineer bubblegum-flavored broccoli. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't a hit. Blue whales are the baddies of the ocean (sorry, orcas), and if I were a sea creature, I would never, ever tussle with one, especially considering a blue whale's tongue alone can weigh more than an elephant. Due to their genes, redheads may need about 20% more anesthesia than non-redheads. I literally never thought about Barbie being called anything other than Barbie, but her full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. There are more possible chess game variations than atoms in the universe. The warty comb jellyfish doesn't have an anus, so when it needs to poop, its gut fuses with an outer layer of its "skin" to create a hole in its body. After the deed is done, the hole closes right back up. In Thailand, there's an annual Monkey Buffet Festival where residents of Lopburi leave 4.5 tons of fruit, veggies, and other treats to honor the approximately 3,000 monkeys that live near the Phra Prang Sam Yot temple. Way better than Coachella, IMO. I was pleased to find out that a buttload is an actual unit of measurement! One buttload is equivalent to 126 gallons of wine. Back in the day, Victorians ate arsenic to get a paler complexion. There's a church decorated with the bones of 40,000 people in Czechia. Sharks were roaming the planet before Saturn's rings formed. With this information, this is a shark's world, and we're all just living in it. There are more fake flamingos in the world than real ones. Humans typically produce 0.5 to 1.5 liters of saliva every day. Crocodiles can gallop like horses do. If you're afraid to go into the ocean because of sharks, you might want to avoid hotel hallways and break rooms, because vending machines are twice as likely to kill you. Though dead bones are dry and brittle, living bones are wet and a bit soft. In order to absorb pressure, bones are also slightly flexible. Up to one-third of a living bone's weight is water. "Gnurr" is the term used to describe the lint that collects at the bottom of your pockets. Scotland's national animal is a unicorn. The closest US state to Africa is Maine. If you sneeze uncontrollably after being suddenly exposed to bright light or intense sunlight, you might have inherited a genetic trait called Achoo Syndrome. Armadillos almost always give birth to identical quadruplets. As long as you legally obtain human flesh or limbs, cannibalism is allowed in the Netherlands. The short-horned lizard squirts blood out of its eyes — at a distance of up to three feet — to confuse predators. However, the blood contains a chemical that makes dogs, wolves, and coyotes noxious. Love that. A rainbow on Venus is called a "glory." Frogs use their eyes to help them swallow their meals. When a frog swallows food, its eyes pull down to the roof of their mouth to help push the food down its throat. Human brains are constantly eating themselves. To "cleanse" the system, cells will smother and consume smaller cells or molecules in a process called phagocytosis. The fear of long words is called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. After seeing that, I'm scared, too. Ants don't have lungs. Instead, they breathe through tiny holes on the sides of their bodies called spiracles. When lightning strikes, the air it passes through can reach up to 50,000°F — five times hotter than the sun's surface. Due to thermal expansion, the Eiffel Tower can "grow" up to six inches in the summer. Tigers don't just have striped fur but skin, too! If you were to shave a tiger, you'd find identical striped markings as if they were tattoos. If you go to the sky deck of the Willis Tower in Chicago on a clear day, you can see four other US states: Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin. A blue whale's heartbeat can be heard from two miles away. Sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins. Dolphins must come to the surface almost every 10 minutes, but sloths can hold their breath for 20 minutes or more by slowing down their heart rates. Before toiler paper, corn cobs were used as a method of wiping. This one might unsettle you, but snails have teeth. Snails can have up to 1,000 to 12,000 teeth. I don't know what they need those for, but good for them! I hope they have snail dentists, then. While she was a teenager during World War II, Queen Elizabeth II became a junior officer in the Auxiliary Territorial Service and became a trained mechanic. The real name of a hashtag is actually octothorpe. Due to the anatomy of their neck muscles and spine, pigs cannot look up to the sky. Imagine being a pig and never knowing that there is a whole world above you. BRB, gonna cry for a sec. For most people, it's impossible to lick their elbows. (Go ahead, try it.) A French general gave John Quincy Adams an alligator as a gift. The gator was kept in one of the White House's bathtubs. Ostriches have bigger eyes than they do brains. In fact, among all land animals, ostriches have the biggest eyes. A dentist invented the electric chair as a method for execution. Simply put, I'm glad I wasn't his patient. Like fingerprints, human tongues also have unique tongueprints. If you've ever wondered what to call that blob of toothpaste you squeeze onto your toothbrush, it's called a nurdle. Animals process time differently depending on their size. Research suggests that smaller animals like mice and lizards process time faster than larger animals like elephants and giraffes. This is also true about animals that fly and marine predators. Due to fast-paced lifestyles, these animals have visual systems that take in changes at higher and faster rates. Competitive art was considered a sport for the first four decades of the modern Olympics. Artists could earn medals for painting, architecture, sculpting, and music. America would win in the music category every time so long as Beyoncé is willing to compete. From 1924–1954, stop signs used to be yellow. At the time, red dyes faded after a while, so the American Association of State Highway Officials went with yellow dye, which didn't fade. It wasn't until the 1950s that sign makers began using fade-resistant enamel. If you thought Abraham Lincoln wasn't fascinating enough, the dude is honored in the Wrestling Hall of Fame. He often competed in wrestling matches when he was younger and rarely lost. In 1992, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame formally inducted the former president as an "Outstanding American." There's even a mural of Lincoln inside the Hall of Fame museum in Stillwater, Oklahoma. If you've ever used a reindeer and a caribou in the same sentence, thinking you were referencing different animals (I'm definitely guilty), I'm sorry to announce that they're the same species. Among the world's five ocean basins, the Atlantic Ocean takes the cake as the saltiest. The inside of a Kit Kat is made up of a small amount of other Kit Kats, usually ones that cannot be sold. Unfortunately, George Washington died not knowing dinosaurs existed. The first and former president died in 1799, while the first official description of dinosaurs happened in 1842. Sad. Humans don't always see their noses because our brains filter out "useless" things to better grasp our surroundings. A polar bear's fur isn't actually white; it's translucent. It only appears white because it reflects visible light. It's certainly possible to use sign language with an accent. Australia is wider than the moon. The moon's diameter is around 2,112 miles, while Australia's is 2,485 miles. The fastest-moving muscle in the human body is the eyes. It's called the orbicularis oculi, and we have one in each eye. The Olympic rings were first produced in 1913, and they were designed to include all participating nations. The rings' colors, along with the white background, reflect the colors found on all of the countries' flags. How wholesome! There was once a French king who believed he was made of glass. King Charles IV had a psychiatric disorder called "Glass Delusion" and thought that he would shatter if anyone touched him. Beer was banned in Iceland until 1989. Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Steet was originally orange instead of green. In the show's first season, Oscar was orange partly due to some limitations of colorized TV at the time. It wasn't until season 2 that he turned green. If you ever wondered where the term "honeymoon" came from, it originated in the Middle Ages. When there was a newly married couple, they'd be supplied enough honey wine to last the first month of their marriage. Due to increased blood flow to the fingertips, human fingernails grow faster during summertime. Illinois is known as the pumpkin capital of the United States. A housefly's feet are 10 million times more sensitive than a human tongue. California experiences over 100,000 earthquakes a year. Thankfully, though, many of them are minor or are barely felt at all! Every year, Norway gifts London a huge Christmas tree, which is then decorated and displayed in Trafalgar Square. The tree serves as a thank-you gift for all the help the UK gave Norway during WWII. Owls sometimes swallow their food whole. The average Swiss person consumes about 48 pounds of cheese per year. Lastly: Walt Disney made it a rule for Disneyland not to sell chewing gum to keep the park clean. Wow, my brain is sweating from absorbing all that info. Instead of sending a "good morning" text, I'm just going to send one of these facts every day without any context. Do you know any interesting and fascinating facts? Let me know in the comments!

Shocking number of teens are victims and perpetrators under 'Raise the Age' law
Every day the Raise the Age law stands is another day of mourning for Julia Verona, whose 14-year-old son was fatally stabbed outside a McDonald's in Queens, allegedly by another teen. The law changed how teens are treated in New York's criminal justice system, increasing the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 18, often funneling more violent cases to the state's family courts and resulting in reduced sentences when compared to adult suspects. The teens involved in the brawl that resulted in her son Julian Corniell's death are still in the neighborhood, she said. 12 The teens involved with Julian Corniell's death are still in the neighborhood, his mother said. Brigitte Stelzer/copyphoto 'I have to go to therapy for that every Saturday because it makes me very angry,' Verona told The Post. 'They're still outside, I've seen them with my own eyes. They still go to that McDonald's like nothing ever happened.' 'They should change [the law] – they should make it more serious, because these kids are out there continuing to do the same thing,' Verona said. Verona, 36, said she wished the name of her son's alleged 16-year-old killer would be released, and that the rest of the teens present would face some kind of consequence. 12 'They should change [the law] – they should make it more serious, because these kids are out there continuing to do the same thing,' Julia Verona, Corniell's mother, said. Brigitte Stelzer 'The way that family court takes care of things…it's not serious enough. They have more protections for these criminals.' In July 2022, 11-year-old Kyhara Tay was shot and killed outside a nail salon in the Bronx by two teens on a moped — with then 18-year-old Omar Bojang driving and then 15-year-old Matthew Godwin pulling the trigger, authorities said. The two were looking for a rival, 13-year-old gang member when they killed Kyhara, whose parents slammed the Raise the Age law as having protected Bojang, who had a previous rap sheet that included gun-related incidents. 12 11-year-old Kyhara Tay was shot and killed outside a nail salon in the Bronx by two teens on a moped. Godwin was sentenced in April to 10 years to life behind bars, while Bojang was sentenced to 15 years in May. 'You were carrying a gun as an adult, trying to kill someone as an adult, then you should be charged as an adult,' Kyhara's devastated mom, Yahisha Gomez, told The Post. 'Just a little slap on the wrist and they are coming out thinking they could commit more crimes. They know the consequences are not as severe…they don't think about the family,' dad Sokpini Tay said. Yanely Henriquez lost her 16-year-old daughter Angellyh Yambo on April 8, 2022, when 17-year-old Jeremiah Ryan opened fire with a ghost gun on the street in the Bronx as University Prep Charter High School, where Yambo was a straight-A student, let out. Yambo was caught in the crossfire and shot in the back. Ryan was sentenced in September 2023 to 15 years to life. 12 Angellyh Yambo was caught in the crossfire when 17-year-old Jeremiah Ryan opened fire with a ghost gun, and was shot in the back. Facebook/Gordo Manuel Yambó 'If you commit a crime, you must be [treated as] an adult,' the mom demanded. 'This is why these kids are doing whatever they want, because they know they are just getting a slap on their hands. If you have a gun to use, you need to be an adult and face the consequences for your actions.' Here are examples of teenagers allegedly killed by other teenagers so far in 2025: Times Square shooting A 17-year-old allegedly opened fire in Times Square last week, striking three people — including an 18-year-old tourist from Maryland as she rode in an Uber with her siblings and parents, according to police. The bullet grazed the tourist's neck. 'We heard gunshots,' the teen victim's mom later told The Post. 'My daughter was holding her neck. She was bleeding…It's a very horrific experience.' 12 Police at the scene where three people were shot on W44th Street near Seventh Avenue in the Times Square section of New York on August 9. Christopher Sadowski The accused gunman, identified as Jayden Clarke, had gotten into an argument with a Citibike rider inside of the Raising Cane's restaurant on Broadway around 1 a.m. on Aug. 9, and decided to settle the beef by leaving the eatery and opening fire, according to police sources. Cops recovered a .380-caliber Glock 42 from his waistband at the scene. Clarke pleaded not guilty to two counts of attempted murder, three counts of assault and reckless endangerment and weapons charges and was ordered held on $200,000 bail. 12 The accused Times Square gunman, identified as Jayden Clarke, pleaded not guilty to two counts of attempted murder. Michael Nagle Bronx beatdown On Aug. 5, two young teens — just 15-and 16-years-old — were arrested and charged with murder and gang assault in the vicious beating and fatal stabbing of Angel Mendoza, a 14-year-old who was hanging with friends at the Williamsbridge Oval Playground in Norwood. Cell phone video taken by the boy's suspected attackers shows the pack zeroing in on him before smashing him 'in the face with a Taurus 9mm pistol' and then repeatedly striking and kicking him on 'his head, face and body,' according to court documents and police sources. 12 Angel Mendoza, 14, was hanging with friends at the Williamsbridge Oval Playground in Norwood when he was attacked and killed. family handout 12 A memorial for Angel Mendoza, in Williamsbridge Oval, Bronx, NY. J.C. Rice The two teens, among four suspects arrested in Mendoza's killing, have not been identified because of their ages, and will likely be tried in the youth part of Bronx Criminal Court. Andrew Ansah and Jordan Williams, both 18, were charged with the same raps in the case. They will be tried in Bronx Criminal Court. Mendoza was not in a gang and had no previous run-ins with police, said his family, who hid his shoes to keep him home and out of trouble. Stray bullet slaying A 14-year-old gang member allegedly opened fire near a Morrisania schoolyard around 5 p.m. on May 12 — killing 16-year-old Evette Jeffrey as she rode her scooter, authorities said. The babyfaced gunman is believed to have fired his weapon after a fistfight broke out between his friends and rival gangbangers as they left the Bronx playground at 800 Home Street. Evette had celebrated her first anniversary with her boyfriend, also 16, with a date at a Chinese buffet, relatives said. The young couple were on their way home when the gunshots rang out, with a bullet striking her in the head. 12 16-year-old Evette Jeffrey was shot and killed as she rode her scooter after a 14-year-old gang member allegedly opened fire near a Morrisania schoolyard, authorities said. Robert Miller 12 Police officers responding to the scene were they found Evette Jeffrey unconscious and unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head. Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto/Shutterstock Her accused killer, who authorities said had already racked up a previous assault charge on his rap sheet, pleaded not guilty to a second-degree murder charge and was ordered held without bail. Evette's grandmother told The Post she would 'never forgive' the alleged teen killer. 'I hold your family responsible because they should be watching you,' she sobbed. McDonald's stabbing An after school brawl among a large group of teens on Valentine's Day ended in tragedy in Sunnyside, when Julian Corniell, 14, was fatally stabbed at a McDonald's on Queens Boulevard. 12 Corniell was stabbed outside a McDonald's in Queens, allegedly by another teen. James Messerschmidt A 16-year-old was charged with murder for allegedly whipping out a knife and plunging it into the left side of Corniell's torso. The boy collapsed and later died at Weill Cornell Medical Center, while his alleged killer was held without bail in March. Julia Verona described her only son as a 'brilliant' and 'very fun little boy,' who loved to play video games and soccer. Coney Island murder A 13-year-old boy with at least one prior arrest for assault was charged with second-degree murder as an adult for the January 2023 stabbing of a 17-year-old in Brooklyn's Coney Island. 12 Nyheem Wright was killed in front of his twin brother in a parking lot. Facebook Nyheem Wright was killed in front of his twin brother in a parking lot, during an after-school fight over a girl, police said. The suspect was charged as a 'juvenile offender,' a component of the Raise the Age law which results in a maximum sentence of nine years to life if convicted of the top charges — compared to an adult, who in the same circumstance could get a max of 25 years to life. Another two teens were arrested at the time, one 15 and one as young as 14, for their role in the slaying. Nyheem's mother, Simone Brooks, told The Post his stricken sibling, Raheem, 'stayed with his twin brother the whole time,' trying to help him — before watching him die.
