A second man has been arrested for the June killing of a Corona man.

Kevin Guerra, 21, of East Elmhurst, was arrested Friday and charged with murder, criminal use of a firearm and criminal possession of weapon in connection to the June 30 shooting of Dante Sartillian, 21, police said.

Joshua Petillo, a 23-year-old man from South Ozone Park, was arrested July 27 for his role in Sartillian’s death, police said. He was also charged with murder, criminal use of a firearm and criminal possession of a weapon.

FDNY fights 2-alarm blaze in Rockaway Beach at BBQ joint with a rich history of a bygone era

The FDNY battled a two-alarm blaze at a restaurant in Rockaway Beach that stirred up some ghosts for residents of the neighborhood.

The fire broke out just after 7 p.m. at the Smoke and Barrel BBQ at 97-20 Rockway Beach Blvd., in the same location as the old Boggiano’s Bar and Grill. It stood for three-quarters of a century across from the entrance to Rockaway Beach’s Playland Amusement Park, which drew visitors from across the city to what was known as the Irish Riviera, an alternative to Coney Island on the Brooklyn side of Jamaica Bay.
