nytimes.com - On a wall of his rented room in Queens, Moises Ismael Locón Yac has paid tribute to the city where he has lived for seven of his 27 years: a poster of the Empire State Building and a framed cover from The New Yorker — a drawing of a cat looking out an apartment window at the cityscape.
Now the room is decorated with votive candles that his cousin lit after Mr. Locón, a Guatemalan immigrant, vanished during the fire that engulfed part of a block in the East Village where he works as a busboy.
“I have a strong pain in my heart because I haven’t seen him in a day,” the cousin, Pablo Yac, said in an interview on Friday evening.
