A grand jury in Queens has indicted Shao Tong Lian, a 41-year-old man from Brooklyn, for the alleged murder of 55-year-old Fang Chen following an encounter for sex in her apartment. On August 25, 2022, after being let into the building, Lian reportedly killed Chen within 20 minutes. Police found her body the next morning, identifying multiple stab wounds and blunt trauma. DNA evidence linked Lian to the crime. He faces a potential life sentence if convicted.
As alleged, this defendant arranged to pay the victim for sex and then brutally stabbed her to death in less than 20 minutes after arriving at her apartment.
My office, working with the NYPD, secured an indictment against this defendant charging him with murder. Our condolences are with the Chen family as they continue to mourn her loss.
