Michael Fan, a 25-year-old robbery suspect, is now a fugitive after fleeing the courthouse mid-trial, where he was convicted in absentia for a violent home invasion in Flushing. The incident, involving the armed robbery of a young woman at knifepoint, occurred in September 2022 and left the victim tied up while Fan and his accomplices ransacked her apartment.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz has urged the public to assist in locating Fan, who could face up to 25 years in prison upon sentencing.
