What we know so far about the victims of the deadly Brooklyn building collapse

At least eight people died and more than a dozen were injured, some of them critically, in a structure collapse after an apartment building plummeted into a construction pit Wednesday afternoon.

During a Thursday press conference, Mayor Zohran Mamdani shared a few more details on the victims of the collapse.

“This has been a devastating evening and morning for our city,” Mamdani said. ” Eight of our fellow New Yorkers — six adults and two children — have died as a result of the three-story building collapse here at 1321 Flatbush Avenue.”

According to the mayor, the majority of those pronounced dead were found at the scene of the collapse, but two others died at nearby hospitals.

Of the people who lost their lives, two of them were construction workers on site working next to the building that would end up collapsing.

The victims were from different countries, Mamdani said, including Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico and Trinidad.

The Ecuadorian Consulate shared the identity of one of the victims: José Luis Caguana Cosquillo.

“We express our sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones, sharing solidarity with them in these moments of deep grief,” the consulate shared in part in a statement on Facebook.

Caguana, 26, leaves behind a son and his pregnant wife.

“I will always carry him in my heart,” his brother Julio Caguana told our sister station Telemundo 47. “I spent this past Saturday with him watching sports. He was very good at playing soccer.”

Eighteen other people were also hurt, including four firefighters.

“The vast majority of those still being treated in hospitals are in stable condition,” Mamdani said. “One person is in critical condition.”

NYPD is notifying family members before sharing the identifications of the victims.

This is a developing story.
