Police have arrested Zhang Xiaoning, who faces charges of homicide and unlawful possession of a weapon, they said in a statement. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz will lead the prosecution.
Zhao Yan, a current affairs commentator with knowledge of the case, said there are concerns in Chinese émigré and dissident circles in the U.S. that Zhang, a student who was very active in exile pro-democracy groups, wasn't everything she appeared.
While Zhang had arrived in the U.S. in August 2021 on an F-1 student visa, she hadn't enrolled at any school, instead spending most of her time in pro-democracy activities among exiled Chinese dissidents.
Zhao said the type of injuries Li sustained during the attack suggested his assailant had received "professional training."
