NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- An immigrant from Ecuador has died, days after he
was attacked in what appeared to be a racist hate crime in New York,
relatives said Saturday.

Jose O. Sucuzhanay had been declared brain-dead Tuesday, The New York Times
reported. A spokesman for his family, Francisco Moya, said his mother was
traveling from Ecuador to see her son when Sucuzhanay died Friday night a
Elmhurst General Hospital in Queens.

Sucuzhanay and his brother, Romel, were attacked Dec. 6 near his real estate
business<http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/12/14/Immigrant_dies_after_racist_beating/UPI-81271229232811/#>in
the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. Romel told police they were walking
home from a bar when three men wielding baseball bats jumped out of a sport
utility vehicle.

The men yelled slurs against Hispanics and gays, Romel, who escaped without
serious injury, said.

"We're going on now a week with no news about his attackers or his killers,"
Moya said. "It's deeply disturbing."
