Letter Carrier Is Fatally Stabbed at a Bodega in Harlem
An on-duty letter carrier with the United States Postal Service was stabbed to death inside a bodega in Harlem on Thursday afternoon, a Police Department spokesman said.
The stabbing followed an argument over who was first in line, according to a law enforcement official. Officers responded to a 911 call at 2:38 p.m. about a disturbance at the store on Lenox Avenue between West 118th and 119th Streets, the spokesman said. They found the victim, a 36-year-old man, with stab wounds to his stomach. A knife was found at the store, according to an internal police report.
The man was taken to Harlem Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead at 2:57 p.m. As of Thursday evening, the police had not released the victim’s name.
No arrests had been made, but the police said they had taken a person into custody. The police did not release the person’s name. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the law enforcement arm of the Postal Service, is working with the police on the investigation.
Charisse Artis, a letter carrier who used to work with the victim, went to the bodega on Thursday evening after hearing about the stabbing. She described her former co-worker as “very quiet, very laid back,” adding, “Sometimes you didn’t even know he was there.”
Ms. Artis said her first reaction to the news had been to break down in tears. “I told him ‘Happy New Year’s’ this morning,” she said.
