• Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: person struck by a train at East 138th St. and Grand Concourse in the Bronx, a wall collapse at 311 Franklin Ave. in Brooklyn, and the HSBC bank branch at 39th St. and 7th Ave. was robbed in Manhattan.
  
• Ming-Hui Yu's parents are crawling through the bureaucratic process of being able to travel from the People's Republic of China to the U.S. to claim their son's body. They're getting closer.
  
• The Queens livery driver who turned in a child he claimed was abandoned in his car's back seat won't face criminal charges.
  
• Café Gray at the Time Warner Center is closing after a slowdown in business during uncertain economic times.
  
• The NYPD will begin random steroid testing on officers this summer.
  
• A pair of NJ high school students are in trouble after a teacher found a "hit list" that included three students and a faculty member.
