NEW YORK - New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after the Erie County Medical Examiner's office released its autopsy findings ruling the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam a homicide:

"My heart is with Nurul Amin Shah Alam's loved ones today, as it has been since we first learned of his tragic death.

"Mr. Shah Alam fled genocide to build a life in this country. Instead, he was abandoned and left to suffer alone in his final hours.
