Resident at NYC Migrant Shelter Charged With Murder After Fatal Stabbing

A resident at a New York City immigrant shelter has been murdered, while a second 27-year-old immigrant has been charged with murder over the fatal stabbing incident. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) told media they were called to the Randall’s Island migrant shelter around 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 6 over reports there was a violent assault in progress. Upon arrival, police reportedly discovered that the 24-year-old male victim had been stabbed in the torso. Paramedics tried to save the victim. However, he was pronounced dead in a Harlem hospital soon after. Police took a 27-year-old suspect into custody at the scene. An employee from the shelter told the media the altercation began in the facility’s dining tent. It’s alleged the fight started because the victim spoke to the other man’s girlfriend. Up to three others may have also taken part in the assault but police have not taken anyone else into custody. Security apparently prevented the man charged with murder from fleeing the scene....
