NEW YORK (AP) β The New York Police Department has identified a suspect in a knife attack that left a 6-year-old boy dead and a 7-year-old girl critically injured in a public housing building that didn’t have security cameras.
Police say they’re looking for 27-year-old Daniel St. Hubert.
Police say Prince Joshua Avitto and his friend Mikayla Capers were riding in an elevator in Brooklyn’s Boulevard Houses to get ice cream Sunday when they were randomly attacked. Chicago Bulls power forward Taj Gibson says Prince was his cousin.
Police say the attacker used a steak knife to stab each child multiple times.
Police say they’re investigating whether the attacker also may have fatally stabbed an 18-year-old woman days earlier a few blocks away. A similar knife was recovered at the scene of that slaying.
