On Sunday, November 22, an arrest was made and a 52-year-old male was charged with 2nd-degree murder. 

According to the New York Daily News, Massaro was allegedly battling alcoholism and entered into a rehab program on Long Island. He checked out of the program just hours before he was killed, according to childhood friend Keith Hanlon.

"He got out of rehab and got on the train. And that was it. Out of a program and on the train, and not even 12 hours later, he was gone," Hanlon told the outlet.

"He was ready to live life. Since his sister's passing, I'd never noticed him have this voice. Something hit him. I really believe he started to accept things and understand what life was about," Hanlon described. "'It finally hit me, and I'm ready. I can do this. We can do this together.' Those were his exact words. I lost him in the Midtown tunnel. His last words were, 'I'm about to hit the Midtown tunnel, I'll call you.'"

Ashley died in May 2019. She was 39 years old and survived by her daughter.
