A long-sought suspect in the gruesome murders of a Lower East Side nail salon owner Nikki Huang and her friend has been nabbed by the NYPD, a police source said Tuesday.
The man in custody was not immediately identified and a second suspect remains on the loose in the slayings of Huang, 23, and her friend Jesse Parrilla, 22, whose bodies were found in a burned-out car dumped near the Pelham Split Rock Golf Course in the Bronx May 16.
Both victims were shot in the head during a wild night of violence sparked by a purse snatching on the Lower East Side.
