Queens Nightclub Stabbing: 55-Year-Old Man Killed Following Dispute with Suspect!
A 55-year-old man from Westchester County, New York, was tragically killed in a stabbing incident at a high-end nightclub in Queens, New York City, early Monday morning.
The victim, identified as Percy Forrest from Port Chester, was stabbed in the chest around 2:20 a.m. at Agenda Restaurant and Lounge, a popular spot in Astoria. He was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital but was sadly pronounced dead shortly after his arrival, according to police and other law enforcement sources.
According to the source, Witnesses say an argument broke out between Forrest and the suspect inside the nightclub before the situation escalated. During the confrontation, the suspect reportedly pulled out a knife and attacked Forrest, fatally wounding him.
Following the stabbing, the suspect quickly fled the scene on foot. Law enforcement officers took a person of interest into custody near the nightclub, but as of Monday evening, no charges had been announced in connection to the case.
It’s still unclear whether Forrest and the suspect were club patrons or employees. By Monday, Agenda Restaurant and Lounge remained closed, with police tape blocking off the crime scene as the investigation continued.
People in the neighbourhood expressed their shock and sadness over the incident. Ramo Besi, who owns Mela Pizza across the street from the nightclub, commented on the tragedy. “It’s pretty tragic. Look, this is not a bad neighbourhood,”
he said, adding that the club generally attracts “very good people.” Besi went on to praise Agenda as “one of the most beautiful places in all of Queens,” mentioning its impressive interior, dining, and kitchen areas.
However, not everyone was surprised by the violence. A worker at a nearby convenience store remarked on the occasional chaotic atmosphere around the club, especially during busy hours.
“I knew something was going to happen with that club, too,” said Bander, 47, who pointed to valet parking and crowds outside as contributing factors. The investigation is still ongoing as law enforcement works to gather more details and determine if charges will be filed.
