Man, 24, stabbed to death during quarrel on Brooklyn street
A 24-year-old man was stabbed to death during an argument on a Brooklyn street, police said Sunday.
The victim was knifed during a quarrel on 40th St. near 14th Ave. in Borough Park about 10:20 p.m.
Medics rushed the victim to Maimonides Medical Center but he could not be saved. His name was not immediately released.
“I’m shocked that happened,” said a neighbor who declined to give her name. “It’s a quiet neighborhood.”
Cops recovered a knife nearby and took two people of interest into custody, cops said. Charges were pending.
Blood still stained the sidewalk Sunday morning. Neighbors believe the victim bled out.
“He didn’t deserve that,” said a friend who tearfully visited the scene . “He didn’t deserve to die slowly. … I haven’t even slept.”
“He’s a great friend, good human being,” said the friend, declining to give his name. “I’m just wondering why they would do that to him. He’s not that type of person to look for problems. …. He’s a shy kid, a quiet kid.”
“He kept to himself, didn’t bother no one. He got along with everyone. He would always make you laugh with his dances. This kid had talent. He liked to dance, skate, play basketball.”
