- Patricio Castro said he was moved to tears, when he finally saw the PIX11 News story from 2020 marking the 20th anniversary of the Wendy's fast-food massacre in Flushing, Queens.
The report featured his former co-worker, Jaquoine Johnson, who was only 18 when he was shot in the head during a robbery turned mass shooting on May 24, 2000.

Thank you WPIX for never forgetting this horrible tragedy. May the survivors continue to heal and the murderers rot in prison!
these two will always be soulmates, so sorry for their pain
I lived in Flushing Queens at the time of this tragic event, and I used to take the bus right in front of Wendy's. I was standing at the bus stop like an hour before this happened. I remember the next day, it was partially boarded up but you could still see clearly inside. I still have pictures that I took of the shrine, and many of us who came to pay our respects. I'm glad all these years later, they are trying to make the best of their lives.🌹
Same here used to take the Q65 right in front. I remember that Wendy’s so we’ll. I’m 41 now and always remember that horrible day
I remember that tragedy ‘seems like yesterday’ can’t believe it’s been 23 yrs. Glad to see these guys link up, and are living the best they know how.
Someone should do a Tik Tok about his book so it can become a best seller, Also it would help his family move from that situation. Big ups to both guys‼️ May God continue to instill a good work in both of them. May we all surround them in prayers & lots of LOVE. ❤😉😇
PROPS to PIX for bringing this up. 2 men different cultures different races bonded forever through a tremendous tragedy. Very similar to the actions you take in war.. Throw your fellow soldier on your shoulder and March not worrying about the little things that would normally Make you hesitate. What a beautiful and inspirational story. If we could just have more of these without the tragedy we would be in a much better place.
I'm sure these two men still have days when it's hard to make it. I can imagine you're never the same again after an experience like that. I wish them both continued peace and blessings
Their reunion just warms my heart. I always wondered if they would come together again. God's will shall be done.
I grew up a few blocks away and always passed that Wendy's on the way to the Long Island Railroad station on the way to the city.
I saw the story on the news when I was living in the Midwest. I couldn't believe I was seeing my hometown and Main Street Flushing on National news.
I can't believe what these men have gone through at no fault of their own. That one night changed their lives forever. We'll check out his book "40th and Main" Thank you for remembering them PIX11
Bruh still living in the struggle after all these years. I’m right here with you bruh.
Make a change
I remember this story! Happy to see them reunited.
God bless them that they not only survived but reunited so emotionally Happy, Is good for once to hear good news thank you for posting the story ❤🙏👏
This was so heartbreaking that they had to go through that horrific situation. No one deserves it or the victims. :(
For that dude Jaquione, it's real tough living in NYCHA however, at least he is with loved ones. I used to frequent Flushing a lot, during that time period. Condolences to the families of those, who did not make it.
I wonder if Wendy’s even pay their bills…. Or if they got a lawsuit since it was a manager of the company that set them up. They should’ve gotten millions!!!!!! Especially the black man that was crippled from his injuries.
💯💯💯💯 🙁
Unlikely, He's still in the same PJ s
I have family members in Flushing, Queens and I remember when this happens. Sad story, but glad these two are alive and reunited.
I'm glad he got through that. The scar will always remain there for him. But he built a family and life.
This is beautiful.😭😭😭😭 It's ironic the way tragedy brings people closer. Unfortunately especially nowadays us human beings cannot help one another. Tragedies like these are still happening. There are a lot of evil people out there committing these types of crimes and murdering the victims.I pray these 2continue to live full lives. I remember this tragedy I was a young girl at the time.Just yesterday a woman was shot in queens projects a mother trying to help a neighbor from continually being beaten by her boyfriend..... Smh.....
God bless them !!! 🙏🙏🙏
I was in junior high when that happened. I used to go to that Wendy’s after school all the time with my friends and get Biggie Fries for $1. Crazy tragedy that happened there.
Lol Blm terror🔫🤡💩🍉🍗
Thank you for updating
I remember this incident. Very tragic.
Hope these guys keep in touch
😢this made me cry thank you god there are brother forever❤❤
I remember i was a teenager when this news came out and occasionally i would research about the horror and why this happened and i watched a documentary on youtube a few months ago .. Broke my heart so deeply i just don't understand how new york state has such small sentences even if its LIFE ... I think about the victims parents families siblings and when i drive by here i think of it ... They didn't deserve that and i know god is with them.
He’s a ANGEL 😇
Love they reunited may God bless them 🙏
This is the beautiful light at the end of that tragic tunnel!!!🙏😢🙌
So sad I’m glad they survived rip to the victims
Unbelievable how they not only survived, but they are functional. Normally they can't walk or do anything we take for granted
That Spanish guy needs a metal. He saved his black coworkers body by carrying his body up stairs noone talks bout that. That Spanish guy he's a hero I hope that black guy realizes that how many men would of did that help another instead of just leaving and worrying only bout himself. I'm a black woman whos so proud of this Spanish guy and I thank him for saving his co-workers life god bless you your a wonderful person they should give you a reward or something
man this made me tear up
Expect to both men especially Castro, he saved his life and he forgave the killers
God Bless Them!
Damn I remember when this happened good to see they living
Happy For These 2
Thank God for both of them....may God watch over them...
Rest in peace 💔🙏😢 victims but God wanted these two pals to be reunited but awful 💔😢 praying for family members 💔
Bless to both of these men
God bless these two
Nice too see that we have good people in this world 🌎 that care for each other !
God bless them all
This makes me cry
Castillo is a good man to forgive the murderers. It is good that two men found each other again.
... NOWHERE IN THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE HOLY GOD HAS HE EVER SAID TO FORGIVE DEVILS... NO WHEREEEE??? THOSE DEVILS ARE NOT FORGIVEN STILL LYING!!! AMEN!!! RIGHTFULLY SOOOOOOO... THE LOTF TAUGHT HID DISCIPLES TO FORGIVE THEIR BROTHERS IN THE FAITH OF THE HOLY GOD... HE WAS NOT TEACHING THE DISCIPLES TO FORGIVE THE DEVILS... BIG DIFFERENCE PEOPLEEEEE AND HE ALSO TAUGHT THOSE WHO TRESPASSES TO GO TO THE ONE ONE HAS TRESPASSED AGAINST AND MAKE IT RIGHT...
Why didn't anybody tell me about this horrific event? I came to the US in 2002, I worked at 2 Wendy's in South Carolina, moved to New York and worked at Wendy's in Nanuet in 2006, my first job in the state! and nobody told me a word about this!!
I even lived in Flushing in 2015 and worked at BJ's there, nobody spoke a word on it (well it had been many years from it, but still).
I just found out about it this morning because I went to Flushing yesterday and found the Burger King closed, did a little research and someone mentioned "it feels weird to see it closed after the tragedy that happened years ago"... I was like "what tragedy"... my God !!!
As a citizen now, I am appalled at people's lack of memory/disinterest after these things happen, as if it was the "normal" for any country's life.
They refuse to drop the wild west mentality.
Castro should give Johnson a job
Word up
Seems to me like Johnson has had a tough life and has and maybe still using substances. He may not be capable of working in that line of work (temptations)money gold jewelry, I don’t think so.
Saving his life wasn’t enough..
he dont need help tho, hes like 50
I remember a friend of mine had went to school with that girl from Springfield Gardens. A sad time
Sad with a beautiful ending❤️
God bless them for surviving this
Real Journalism right here
A love story of survival.
GOD BLESS 😊
Meanwhile, not too far away in South Side, Jamaica, Queens Fifty Cent was getting shot this same day.
Astoria Houses. Blessings to them both.
This incident just cross my mind I remember it like the back of my hand. Went to highschool in the area so I use to eat there from time to time. Even Remember the mother of the victim laying flowers at a memorial at the queens botanical garden. Rip to the victims rest in piss the perpetrators
( MAN GOD BLESS Y'ALL )
Castro such a good man. May blessing follow these men for a lifetime❤
That man was very lucky imagine none of them were alive they all would’ve been done not one survivor I’m very happy and it’s sooo very emotional watching this but wow that man was a hero to the other man it just sad how the 21 year old pleaded not to be killed and had a future ahead of her it’s soooo sad . I never knew about this story when I was a teenager I had no idea about these stories .
How in the hell these employees weren’t heavily compensated
for what? they cant discriminate who they hire..
Crazy world nd will never change
Castro. Mr Castro love you god bless you your a good person a angel
🙏🙏🙏
That ecuadorian man is a Hero.
Did they go to Wendy’s?
John Taylor narrowly escaped the death penalty he is worthy of. Hopefully he’s changed like the Son of Sam did.
❤
This hurts for a 2500 dollar pay day smh 🤦🏾♂️
latin guy rose up in class
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
Nice ambitious
That's love !
Why are they trying to remember a horrible past?. Is that what they are looking for in the future?.
You don't get it.
Because it is important to reflect on what happened to them! It never left them.
@@carribgirl007 Exactly.
"Trying to remember "? How could you possibly just forget a day you could have lost your life , instead others did. They don't have to "try" to remember ; there's no choice to forget .
😢😢😢😢
That’s Housing Police ofc they gonna be there

Jesus Christ loves you!
I love you. I pray that you come to the understanding of the living God and that He gave God only begotten Son to die for your sins that you may hast life and life abundantly.
Tap in, brother!
Thankfully, they both survived the horror which killed their coworkers & friends long ago. “Life is like a mist in that we’re here today & can be gone today”. This was such an awful crime. I see no remorse on the shooter’s part & he’s STILL making excuses! May the survivors live long, blessed lives ❤️🩹❤️🩹 & may their friends Rest in peace…🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀💔
Why didn’t they sue Wendy’s? They should be in a mansion living well, not in a NYCHA building, what the hell
How is Wendy's at fault here? Wash up boy, you musty as hell
