Police have arrested a man for the murder of a public school teacher found strangled to death in his Jackson Heights home earlier this year.
Cecil Golden, 20, of the Bronx, has been charged with first-degree murder and criminal possession of stolen property, said the NYPD.
According to published reports, 53-year-old David Rangel, who was killed on January 27, may have met his murder online.
