In this episode of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we cover the heart-pounding moments as a private spacecraft attempts to descend on the moon.

If successful, the landing would mark the first time the U.S. has been back to the moon's surface since 1972, when Apollo 17's Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt left the last boot prints in the desolate gray dust.

Meanwhile in New York City, a political tug-of-war continued over the SoHo hotel murder suspect.

On Thursday afternoon, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg defended his office after a prosecutor in Arizona refused to extradite suspect, Raad Almansoori.

Eyewitness News reporter Dan Krauth details the next steps in this case.

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we have the latest developments in the SoHo murder case.

The Maricopa County attorney in Arizona says she will fight to keep accused killer Raad Almansoori from being sent to New York City to face charges, because she fears Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will simply let the suspect out on bail.

Eyewitness News reporter Kristin Thorne has the details. 

Also in New York City, there's an eye-opening new report about child poverty.

According to a study by Columbia University and the Robin Hood Foundation, 1-in-4 children in the city lived in poverty in 2022. Researchers claim the end of pandemic-era relief programs like the expanded child tax credit, enhanced unemployment insurance and stimulus checks are to blame.

Overall, 23% of people in New York City lived in poverty in 2022. That’s a 5% increase since 2021. The CEO of Robin Hood says the situation gets even more grim when you take into account just how many New Yorkers live above the poverty line but are frighteningly close to it.

Joining us on Extra Time is Sophie Collyer, the Research Director for the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at Columbia.

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we break down the recent arrest of a 23-year-old weeks after the death of a woman in a SoHo hotel. 

Police say 23-year-old Raad Almansoori is being held without bail in Phoenix. Investigators accuse him of stabbing two women and attempting to steal a car from one of the victims.

Officers arrested Almansoori after they spotted him in a stolen car. He apparently told police he was wanted for a homicide in New York City and told them to Google SoHo 54 Hotel. 

Meanwhile, two men are now charged with murder in connection with that deadly shooting after the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City. 

Investigators say Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays began arguing as the parade ended. The argument quickly escalated, and police say the two men started firing at one another.

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we have the latest details after three people held up a Gucci store in Manhattan's Meatpacking District on Monday afternoon.

The burglars had a gun, and before they left, they robbed the high-end store and drove away.

Eyewitness News reporter N.J. Burkett has more on the story.

Meanwhile, employers are looking for new ways to find the right person for their job and sometimes it means giving a potential candidate homework. It is a growing trend.

Experts at Glassdoor say more and more companies are now assigning homework to potential hires. The company says mentions of take-home assignments are up 121% compared to before the pandemic. Sometimes the assignments are as simple as answering supplemental questions, but other assignments require a lot more time and effort.

Experts say these work sample tests are great for employers to determine if a candidate is a good fit for the role, but often they end up putting a lot of pressure on candidates to do work that may not even get them the job.

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we discuss the civil trial ruling that will cost Donald Trump, his family, and his company hundreds of millions of dollars – to be paid to the State of New York.

The judge punished the former president with a huge $355 million payment, barring him from doing business in New York for three years. The judge said Trump showed no remorse for inflating his net worth to banks and the government, among others. The former president’s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump have each been ordered to pay four million dollars.
