Queens Woman Denounces Crime System After Carjacking Incident

A woman from Queens, who recently faced the threat of a violent criminal, expressed her frustrations with New York’s crime policies after a startling attempt to carjack her vehicle. Kimberly Patino, 32, believes individuals like the perpetrator should be kept off the streets.

While heading to the gym, Patino encountered a suspicious man who, she said, locked eyes with her and made disturbing threats. “He said, ‘I’m a king, I’ll kill you, you’re a white B-H,’” she recalled in an interview. In a panic, she called for her husband, shouting, “Baby, babe, come, come!” as the man approached her car.

Patino described hearing him scream, “I’m gonna kill you!” Her husband quickly ran outside to confront the man, asking him what he intended to do, while Patino contacted 911.

Eventually, the assailant, dubbed Dubuisson, ended up on a nearby service road where he attempted to carjack an Uber driver. This led to a confrontation with police, ending with Detective Corey Fisher, a 12-year NYPD veteran, being shot in the hand and foot during the altercation.

As an emergency room technician at New York Presbyterian Queens Hospital, Patino voiced her discontent with the criminal justice system. “This person should be locked up or face harsher consequences for their violent history,” she argued.

Patino noted that earlier, she had witnessed Dubuisson attempting to steal an SUV at a gas station. “He was only fighting with the gas station workers,” she said, recollecting how he later targeted her car, a 2022 Dodge Durango.

After being scared off by Patino’s husband, Dubuisson moved on toward the Whitestone Highway, where, shortly afterward, police intervened. Officers quickly arrived at the scene, leading to a chaotic situation where they opened fire, inadvertently injuring one of their own.

Patino expressed her shock and fear, saying, “It could have been me.” She was grateful her husband was home that day but pondered the consequences had things played out differently. “I would have been dead,” she asserted.

Laws enforcement indicated that Dubuisson had a lengthy criminal history, boasting ten sealed arrests and a record involving mental health issues. After being released from prison for robbery in March, he had, just the day before, been arrested for avoiding fares on public transport.

“This guy literally just left prison yesterday and is already attacking people,” Patino lamented, voicing her concern over rising violence in the city. She urged local leadership to take action, stating, “You have to start with the mayor. They’re not doing anything.”
