NEW YORK – A Guyanese national, who escaped to his country after allegedly killing another man in the United States, was arraigned late last month in Queens Criminal Court in New York.
Troy Thomas, 33, who was charged with the shooting death of Keith Frank in Dec. 11, 2011 in the Richmond Hill section of Queens, was arraigned after he was extradited from Guyana. Thomas was indicted in 2012 by the Queens District Attorney’s Office.
“The defendant has been on the run for seven years, but, today, he is in our custody and will answer for the senseless killing of a 20-year-old man,” John M. Ryan, chief assistant district attorney in Queens, told reporters after Thomas’s arraignment on April 25.
