On Sunday night, a woman was raped at knife point in Coney Island. The two suspects are alleged to be two illegal aliens from Nicaragua and Mexico.
According to police, the attack took place outside a migrant hotel which houses illegal aliens at Surf Avenue and 16th Street around 9 p.m. Sunday.
The two suspects have been identified as David Davon-Bonilla from Nicaragua and Leovando Moreno from Mexico.

From the New York Post:
Two migrants were arrested for a knifepoint rape in Coney Island – including one who illegally crossed into the US at the southern border in 2022 and was then busted four months later on rape charges in Brooklyn, law-enforcement sources said Monday.
David Davon-Bonilla, 24, a Nicaraguan migrant, allegedly grabbed the 46-year-old woman and threw her to the ground before raping her while holding a knife to her throat at Surf Avenue and 16th Street around 9 p.m. Sunday, cops and the sources said.
His alleged accomplice, identified as Mexican migrant Leovando Moreno, 37, is accused of striking the woman’s 34-year-old boyfriend with a pipe when he tried to stop the vicious assault, the sources said.
…
Davon-Bonilla, who previously lived at a La Quinta Hotel on Third Avenue converted into a migrant shelter, was charged with first-degree rape, second-degree assault, first-degree sexual abuse, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon, the sources said.
Sources said Davon-Bonilla entered the US illegally through Texas in December 2022 and pleaded guilty last year to a vicious sexual assault of a 34-year-old woman at the La Quinta.
That victim was raped and sodomized inside the hotel on April 23, 2023. It’s not clear why Bonilla was allowed to remain in the US after he was released from jail in that case.
The victim in the Sunday night attack is from out of state and appears to be homeless, living in an encampment under the boardwalk near where she was raped, according to the sources.
Moreno was charged with second-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon in the Sunday night attack.
It is not immediately clear when Moreno entered the country.
Councilwoman Inna Vernikov spoke out about the heinous crime in a post on X:
HORRIFIC — Woman raped at knifepoint in Coney Island by two lowlifes – allegedly migrants, one of whom had a prior charge for a sex crime and was still walking our streets with impunity. Migrants or not, it’s highly unlikely that either of these two sick individuals will face lasting consequences for their actions in our Gotham City.
Law and Order NOW!!!
