Oxygen True Crime’s “New York Homicide” tackles a chilling case this Saturday, exploring the 1992 murder of Manuel de Dios Unanue. A prominent Latino journalist and activist, Unanue was fatally shot in Queens, leaving behind a legacy of outspoken reporting and a long list of potential enemies.
The investigation into his death required a joint task force, given the wide net of possible suspects. As police looked into Unanue’s work, they uncovered potential connections to international terror groups. “Dangerous Work” examines the challenges faced by investigators as they attempt to unravel the truth behind this high-profile murder.
Who wanted Manuel de Dios Unanue silenced? Was it a personal vendetta, a consequence of his investigative journalism, or something more sinister? “New York Homicide” explores these questions through interviews with investigators, witnesses, and those who knew Unanue, painting a picture of a man who lived a life of purpose, even in the face of danger. Tune in to Oxygen True Crime this Saturday, April 19th at 9:00 PM to see how the investigation unfolded.
