The NYPD identified Nedzad Korac, 53, of North Broadway in White Plains in Westchester County as a man sought for questioning in connection with a fatal crash in Queens on Oct. 22, 2024.(Courtesy of NYPD)Tragic night in Queens<\/p>\nSTATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 The NYPD is asking for the public\u2019s help to locate a second person sought for questioning in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash in Queens that led to the arrest of a Staten Island man.<\/p>\n
Police have identified Nedzad Korac, 53, of North Broadway in White Plains in Westchester County, as a second person sought by police for the crash that claimed the life of Amanda Servedio, 36, of Queens. <\/p>\n
Bekim Fiseku, 54, of Garfield Avenue in Fort Wadsworth, was arrested in June in connection with the crash that occurred when he and other individuals allegedly were fleeing from an attempted burglary, according to previous statements issued by Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz and the NYPD\u2019s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.<\/p>\n
Servedio was ejected from her bicycle when the crash occurred on Oct. 22, 2024, at about 11 p.m. at 34th Avenue and 37th Street in Astoria.<\/p>\n
Korac is described by police as a man standing about 6 feet 4 inches and weighing about 220 pounds and having a medium build and a light complexion. He was seen wearing a black T-shirt, blue pants, black and white sneakers. <\/p>\n
The NYPD released photos of a person they allege is Korac to the media.<\/p>\n
NYPD officers injured<\/p>\n
The vehicle that Fiseku, Korac and a third individual were traveling in allegedly struck two NYPD vehicles, injuring two officers.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors allege that Fiseku was the driver of the 2023 Dodge Ram 1500 that fatally struck Servedio while leading police on a 10-minute, high-speed chase through the streets of Long Island City and Astoria.<\/p>\n
The Queens district attorney maintains that Servedio had the right of way when the crash occurred because the driver of the Dodge ran through a solid red light.<\/p>\n
Fiseku was arrested following his indictment by a grand jury in Queens on 12 counts that include murder in the second degree, assault in the first and second degrees, manslaughter in the second degree, unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle in the first degree, attempted burglary in the third degree, possession of burglar\u2019s tools, criminal mischief in the fourth degree, and violations of leaving the scene of an accident without reporting, failure to exercise due care, operating a vehicle at unreasonable speed, and reckless driving.<\/p>\n
In October 2024, police asked the public for help in locating Fiseku but did not identify him as a Staten Islander.<\/p>\n

The tragic episode began on that Tuesday night when officers assigned to the Patrol Borough Queens North Public Safety team responded to a 911 call of a burglary in progress involving a dark pickup truck in the vicinity of Crescent Street and 39th Avenue in the 114th Precinct, according to police and the district attorney.<\/p>\n
As officers approached the location, they saw the Dodge pulling off the sidewalk outside of a commercial building at 38-27 Crescent Street in Long Island City. The pickup truck, occupied by three individuals, had an obstructed, illegible license plate attached to its rear, authorities allege.<\/p>\n
Officers attempted to do a car stop around the corner, but instead of complying, Fiseku allegedly triggered a police pursuit by driving away at a high rate of speed, according to Katz.<\/p>\n
The NYPD alleges that the pickup struck two police vehicles while the individuals were evading cops.<\/p>\n
The Dodge was traveling eastbound on 34th Avenue and moving through the intersection at 37th Street when the pickup truck hit Servedio, who was on a bicycle, police allege.<\/p>\n
The individuals fled from the scene in the pickup truck, which continued traveling eastbound on 34th Avenue.<\/p>\n
Servedio went flying and landed on a parked and unoccupied BMW 328i at the corner of 34th Avenue and 37th Street, where officers rendered aid to the woman.<\/p>\n
The Dodge subsequently was recovered where it was abandoned about a half-mile away in the vicinity of Newtown Road and 47th Street.<\/p>\n
Katz alleges that Fiseku stepped out of the Dodge and fled on foot through a series of backyards.<\/p>\n
Police recovered a prybar, screwdriver, bolt cutters, a dead-blow hammer, gloves, a mask and two cellphones, including one owned by Fiseku, inside the abandoned pickup that was registered to Fiseku, according to the Queens district attorney.<\/p>\n
Two officers were transported in stable condition to an area hospital, according to police.<\/p>\n
The investigation later revealed evidence that individuals used force in an attempt to enter a building in the vicinity of where police were called in Long Island City. Katz alleges that Fiseku and a second male were the culprits.<\/p>\n
Fiseku was arraigned in state Supreme Court in Queens, where he pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted of the top count, Fiseku faces up to 25 years to life in prison.<\/p>\n
The FBI and U.S. Marshals assisted in the investigation that included the NYPD\u2019s Highway District Collision Investigation Squad and Force Investigation Division.<\/p>\n
