“Unmotivated, cruel and deadly”
New York Police Chief of Investigation Joseph Kenny tells what happened next:
– Carson stands between the man and his female companion to protect her.
He says that Carson tried to defuse the situation, but that he was instead exposed to what Kenny describes as an “unmotivated, cruel and deadly attack”.
The suspected perpetrator stabbed Carson three times. One of the stabs penetrated straight through his heart, the police said.
The internet boils: – Is terrified
Spit in the face

Help others
Ryan Carson had lived in New York for 13 years. For almost as long, he worked organizing campaigns for the New York Public Interest Research Group, which works for a better environment.
Ryan Carson turned his passion into purpose. He advocated tirelessly for others, and his giving spirit was a buoy to all. His murder is unthinkable, and the NYPD won’t rest until we bring him to justice.
I’m praying for all who knew and loved Ryan.https://t.co/3gaM6yvgYE

He was also the founder of the No OD NY campaign, which aimed to reduce the number of overdoses in New York.
– He worked tirelessly for everyone else, and his generous soul was a lifeline for everyone, writes New York mayor Erica Adams on X/Twitter.
