Mexican Chef Mateo Solís stabbed in New York

Just a few days ago, a crime occurred that seems straight out of a movie script.

Two individuals stabbed Mexican chef Mateo Solís, just 20 years old.

The young man was celebrating his wife’s birthday at a restaurant when he got into an argument with these individuals.

However, last Sunday, the New York City Police Department released surveillance images of the suspects.

The brother of the Mexican chef revealed that the individuals exited through the front and waited for Mateo Solís to leave the restaurant.
