From New York, the greatest city in the world, and where people by fake Rolex's with counterfeit money, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! The warm-up is almost here. It's so close. While we're taking Friday off to enjoy it, Brandon's in the chair to update you on what's making news.
Some stories talked about on tonight's show were:
1. Four suspects were arrested in Queens and Brooklyn overnight Wednesday in what is being described as a major drug bust. The bust was the result of a long-running investigation that began with two overdose deaths involving fentanyl-laced heroin -- one in Bay Ridge in 2016 and one in Kew Gardens in 2017.
2. Authorities in New Jersey are investigating after a dead baby was found in a suitcase Wednesday afternoon. The discovery was made around 1:15 p.m. under the Tonnelle Avenue Bridge at the end of Van Wagenen Avenue in Jersey City.
3. The NYPD has identified a woman whose dismembered body was found in a Brooklyn park.
