Police identified a new suspect in the fatal 2024 hit-and-run<\/a> in which a mobbed-up truck driver struck a Queens bicyclist while fleeing the NYPD.<\/p>\n

Nedzad Korac, 53, is being sought in connection to the deadly crash that claimed the life of 36-year-old Amanda Servedio on Oct. 22, 2024, cops said.<\/p>\n

\"AmandaAmanda Servedio (pictured) was fatally struck by a truck while riding her bike in Queens on Oct. 22, 2024.<\/p>\n

The NYPD released images of the suspect Wednesday and are asking the public\u2019s help in tracking him down.<\/p>\n

The search for Korac follows the June 23, 2025 arrest of Bekim Fiseku<\/a>, a 54-year-old ex-con with ties to the Bonanno crime family who was charged with murder for Servedio\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\"QueensQueens bicyclist was fatally struck by a truck driver who was fleeing NYPD cops late Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024.<\/p>\n

Fiseku and Korac struck Servedio with a Dodge pickup truck while fleeing officers responding to a call about a burglary in progress at a warehouse on Crescent St. near 37th Ave. in Long Island City.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived, they saw Fiseku\u2019s Dodge Ram pickup truck parked nearby with tape obscuring its rear license plate. When they approached, Fiseku, with Korac and another passenger in the truck, sped off, striking two NYPD vehicles, authorities say.<\/p>\n

Police chased the driver for nearly a mile into Astoria, where he T-boned Amanda Servedio on her bicycle at 37th St. and 34th Ave.<\/p>\n

The impact sent Amanda Servedio flying off her bike and slamming into a parked BMW.<\/p>\n

Front page for Oct. 24, 2024: Police were responding to burglary call. “We loved her,” says devastated family. Amanda Servedio (above) was hit and killed Tuesday night in Queens by driver fleeing police, who were driving an NYPD van like one below.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t even scream,\u201d witness Jake Kwok told the Daily News at the time. \u201cShe went airborne. She flew like 30 feet\u2026 It was a lot of force.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video shows an NYPD van in hot pursuit, its lights flashing. The officers inside stopped their van and rushed to her aid. Medics brought her to Elmhurst Hospital, where she died.<\/p>\n

The crash raised concerns about the NYPD speeding through city streets in pursuit of suspects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were certainly upset that they didn\u2019t stop the chase,\u201d the victim\u2019s father said of the NYPD. \u201cIt was probably not the place to be doing a high-speed chase, in the residential neighborhood, and we were very upset that that\u2019s what actually happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Korac has 14 prior arrests, with charges including identify theft, forgery, unlawful imprisonment and burglary, cops said.<\/p>\n

Federal agents cuffed Fiseku, who was wanted for a separate case in February 2025, when he was caught carrying marijuana, cocaine and a fake ID, according to Queens DA Melinda Katz\u2019s office. Fiseku is due back in court on March 13.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police identified a new suspect in the fatal 2024 hit-and-run in which a mobbed-up truck driver struck a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138291,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,12,63,261,122,124,123,265],"class_list":{"0":"post-138290","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-queens","8":"tag-city","9":"tag-county","10":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","11":"tag-latest-headlines","12":"tag-local-news","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-new-york-county","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-nyc-crime","19":"tag-queens","20":"tag-queens-headlines","21":"tag-queens-news","22":"tag-sub-county-region"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
