Less than 12 hours after a young man, out on bail for at least four murders and several
other serious offences was gunned down on Sunset Drive, Sunset Park last
Wednesday morning, police launched investigations into another homicide
Wednesday night.
A 49-year-old male has been arrested and is being questioned by police, with
reference to the stabbing which resulted in the death of a 43-year-old male of Royal
Palm Street.
Preliminary reports indicate, that sometime around 8:18 p.m., while in the area of
Royal Palm Street, the victim was involved in a physical altercation with another
male, who produced a knife resulting in him being stabbed multiple times about the
body.
The suspect fled the area in an unknown direction while the victim was subsequently
transported to hospital via EMS, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Due to quick response by police, the suspect was apprehended in the area of Wilton
and Mackey Streets.
Investigation continues into this matter.
