Lailing Yu, who lives a block from the crime scene, said she had been horrified when she received a video on her phone of two officers clutching the bloodied children. “I was shocked,” Ms. Yu said, as she stood with others who had gathered outside the five-story brick building where Ms. Zhao, her children and Mr. Ye lived. Arriving at the apartment early in the afternoon, the man found Ms. Zhao and her children lying in pools of blood in the kitchen area and called 911, Ms. Chu said. Mr. Ye’s son was taken to a police precinct, where he remained with his mother, Ms. Chu said. Ms. Zhao’s husband had been sent to Ohio for work and had been trying desperately to return to New York all afternoon, Ms. Chu said.
