Second teen nabbed in stabbing of 14-year-old boy outside Queens McDonald's
A second teen was arrested Thursday for the killing of 14-year-old Julian Corneill, who was stabbed by a group of students outside a McDonald's in Queens on Valentine's Day.
The 16-year-old boy was hit with a slew of charges including murder, manslaughter and gang assault for the 3:30 p.m. Feb. 14 slaying outside the fast-food joint near 38th St. and Queens Blvd. in Sunnyside, cops said. His name was not released because he is underage.
Julian was chased out of the McDonald's and across the street, where he was attacked by the mob of teens. As he lay dying in the street, a friend and former classmate held Julian's hand and applied pressure to his wound as medics raced to the scene.
Medics rushed him to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell in Manhattan but he could not be saved.
Cops arrested a 14-year-old boy at the scene and charged him with gang assault.
The victim began high school in Long Island City last year but after enduring severe bullying that led to an assault and hospitalization he became too afraid to attend. His mother then transferred him to Hillcrest High School in Jamaica in November, she previously told the News.
Police told Julian's mother that between 15 to 20 people were involved in the gang assault that killed him and that the gang was already at the McDonald's when Julian arrived with three friends.
'I don't know how I'm going to live without my little boy,' Julian's mother, Julia Verona, said after the killing. 'He didn't deserve to die that way.'

For the Sheep of Governors Island, a Final New York Summer
Good morning. It's Thursday. Today we'll meet the summer landscaping squad on Governors Island. We'll also get details on the mixed verdict in the retrial of the former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. On Governors Island, the 172-acre former fort in New York Harbor, the return of the summer landscaping squad was as predictable as the return of the swallows to San Juan Capistrano in California. The landscaping squad is five sheep. They will spend their days eating plants that sound unappetizing — mugworts, phragmites and bromes. The sheep like them, and gobble them up faster than people working the same acreage could clear them, according to Melissa Perrin, who as the gardener on Governors Island is the de facto sheep herder. The plants in question are invasive species that can cause irreversible problems. This is the fifth year that the sheep — Bowie, Chad, Evening, Jupiter and Philip Aries — have spent the summer on Governors Island, and it will be their last. Their services will no longer be needed after September. They may even be sent home, to the farm near Albany where they spend the rest of the year, sooner. They will leave with gold stars as well as pink slips. They have done what they were brought in to do and have done it well, said Nicole Fogarty, the director of marketing for Governors Island.
