A Flushing man was found guilty on Tuesday of brutally killing a 29-year-old woman at his Main Street apartment after a jury deliberated for just two hours before reaching a verdict.

Quming Wan, 55, was convicted of murder, sexual abuse, and related charges for the November 2021 death of Jiaomei Zhou, whose body he carried from his blood-soaked residence to the lobby before he was interrupted by other residents of his building across from Kissena Corridor Park.
