Last night, a 24 year old Tennessee resident was stabbed in East Flatbush off East 54th Street. The NY Times reports that 24 year old Justin Carney was visiting and helping his aunt move into her new apartment building, and around 6PM, yelling was heard from a nearby alleyway. Witnesses say that two men dressed in black stabbed Carney "without warning." Carney managed to go back to the apartment building, but later died at Kings County Hospital.
Nineteen year old Shair Diandra told the TImes that this was Carney's first trip to the city, "To come here and lose your life [was horrible]. He didn't even live here."
