Police seek suspect in activist’s killing in New York City

The police are looking for someone they don’t know who killed a person fighting for fairness. The victim was stabbed many times while walking home from a wedding in New York.

Ryan Carson, who was 32 years old, was killed close to a bus station in a neighborhood called Crown Heights in Brooklyn on the 2nd of October.

The person being accused, who is not known by their name, was behaving in a restless or irritated way before the sudden attack happened without any reason.

Mayor Eric Adams promised that the police will keep working until someone is arrested.

The video from a surveillance camera shows the person suspected of a crime wearing dark clothes. Carson and another woman, who is not known, were seen sitting on a bench near a bus stop around 4:00 in the morning.

Officials say that Mr. Carson and his friend started to leave when they saw the suspect knocking over scooters. But then the suspect came up to them and started yelling rude words.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said that Mr. Carson quickly positioned himself between the man and his female friend to keep her safe. Kenny also mentioned that Carson was trying to make the situation less intense.

Shortly after, the person being accused stabbed Mr. Carson three times. One of the stabs hit Mr. Carson’s chest and went into his heart, which caused his death.

Mr Carson was laying on the sidewalk, close to death. A man with a knife kicked him in the chest. He also threatened to stab the woman with him and spat in her face, said Mr Kenny.

A woman who we don’t know arrived shortly after and said sorry. She is believed to be the suspect’s girlfriend.

On Wednesday, the police shared a picture of the person they suspect and his girlfriend. They asked the public to help find them.

Local news sources report that the police are not revealing the name of the person they suspect of committing a crime. The suspect is 18 years old and has a past of behaving in a disruptive manner. The police will only make an arrest if they gather enough evidence that strongly suggests the suspect’s guilt.

MrCarson had been living in New York for 13 years. He spent ten years helping to plan campaigns for the New York Public Interest Research Group, a group that focuses on waste policy.

MrCarson also helped make a campaign called “No OD NY” to help more people know about overdose prevention centers.

According to a news source called Gothamist, in 2021, he walked more than 150 miles from New York City to Albany to make people more aware of harm reduction methods and centers.

“He always spoke up and supported others, and his generous nature brought happiness to everyone,” wrote New York Mayor Eric Adams on X (previously called Twitter). “We cannot even imagine someone killing him, and the police will keep working until we make sure the person responsible is punished. ”

Senator Chuck Schumer said that Mr. Carson is a talented and exceptional activist, after they both worked together at a town hall meeting about inflation.

“May we be inspired by his memory and accomplishments,” the Senator wrote on X.
