A 25-year-old man was fatally stabbed during a confrontation on a Bronx street early Tuesday morning, according to the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
The incident took place near an apartment building on 760 Bryant Ave. in the Hunts Point neighborhood around 6:05 a.m. Police identified the victim as Christian Alicea.
Officers responding to the scene discovered Alicea suffering from three stab wounds to the chest. Paramedics rushed him to a nearby hospital, but despite efforts to save his life, Alicea was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Authorities reported that Alicea became involved in an argument with an unidentified individual, leading to a physical altercation.
During the confrontation, the suspect attacked Alicea, inflicting multiple stab wounds before fleeing the scene in a black sedan.
No description of the suspect has been provided, and police are actively working to identify and apprehend the individual responsible.
The motive behind the argument and subsequent violence remains unclear, with investigators continuing to review any available security footage and witness statements to piece together the events leading up to the attack.
The Hunts Point neighborhood, located in the South Bronx, has experienced sporadic incidents of violent crime in recent years, raising concerns among residents about safety in the area.
