Title: A Rosewood in Racist Ridgewood, Queens

Summary:

In July 2025, 24-year-old college student Jada McPherson, a Black woman, was physically attacked in Ridgewood, Queens over a parking space. The incident was caught on video and sparked outrage due to the racially charged nature of the assault and the lack of full accountability.

The attackers included Andreea Dumitru, a white-presenting mother, and her transgender daughter, Sabrina Starman. Both were arrested, charged with third-degree assault and second-degree harassment, arraigned in Queens Criminal Court, and later released. They issued a public apology, citing stress and offering excuses—but notably failed to identify the third assailant, a white male who also violently participated in the attack and fled the scene before police arrived.

To date, the third man remains unidentified and uncharged, despite his presence on video. Neither the NYPD’s 104th Precinct nor the local DA has released further updates or public appeals to locate him.

Implications:

This attack has drawn comparisons to the 1923 Rosewood Massacre—not because of its scale, but because of its symbolic erasure and the systemic failure to hold all perpetrators accountable. Ridgewood, once a diverse enclave, has seen rising racial tensions and gentrification, making this assault a flashpoint in a broader pattern of targeted hostility toward Black residents. The absence of justice for the third attacker exposes bias in media coverage, law enforcement response, and public accountability, reminding New Yorkers that racism is not just history—it’s still being lived.
