Beatriz Briceno Jose Gomez and Beatriz Briceno, the two struck by an oncoming subway in Astoria last Friday, were reportedly on their first date that night. The two had met when 19-year-old Briceno had waited on 29-year-old Gomez at El Cocotero in Manhattan, and had been out for just a few hours when she dropped her jacket onto the elevated tracks. The jacket, which was valued at $200, also contained her wallet, cell phone and keys.
Briceno is currently recovering from the accident, but suffers from a lacerated kidney and liver, and bleeding on the brain. Her stepmother said that she continues to improve, and was able to squeeze her father's hand today. "She's a little more aware today," she said, but still hasn't been able to speak. A wake was held for Jose Gomez on Monday night.
