A Killing in Patchogue: Background to the Murder of Marcelo Lucero

Our feature Justice for Marcelo Lucero contains up-to-date information on the trial of Jeffrey Conroy. This page is an index of some of our earlier posts with background on the killing as well as the events that led up to it. These are culled from nearly 500 articles on the murder written by those of us at Long Island Wins.

Since some of the posts are more than a year old, the information in them reflects what was known at the time.
