Yanely Henriquez is suing the manufacturer of the gun used by the shooter who killed her 16-year-old daughter Angellyh Yambo in 2022.
NEW YORK -- Grieving mother Yanely Henriquez is suing the manufacturer of the gun used by the shooter who killed her 16-year-old daughter Angellyh Yambo in the Bronx in 2022. Police said the bullet that struck Yambo came from a ghost gun. Henriquez is still heartbroken almost two years after her daughter's death. 'She was my life, my oxygen, my everything,' said Henriquez. 'She's my best friend and I say 'is' because I still feel her. She's always with me.
Henriquez filed a lawsuit against Polymer80, a firearm manufacturing company that sells ghost gun kits. 'The family has stepped up to bring down ghost gun manufacturers. A lawsuit that is probably overdue in New York,' said attorney Edward Steinberg. 'It's marked that way on the frame itself, that it's a Polymer80. Again, sadly one that we know is unserialized, unmarked otherwise, and yet gets distributed into the stream of commerce.
