Guyanese stabbing death in NY…
Brooklyn, US – The teenage stepson of a Guyana-born Brooklyn security guard was arrested Monday in the man’s stabbing death.
Alexander Singh, 17, was charged with the murder of Anthony Blair, 44, who was knifed in the neck in a dark parking lot behind a Brooklyn gas station early Sunday.
Both lived at the same Bedford-Stuyvesant address, about a block from the scene of the murder.
Blair, a Guyanese immigrant, was knifed following an argument with Singh about Singh’s mother, a source said.
He was walking home from a party when he was stabbed to death in a dark lot behind a Brooklyn gas station early Sunday, police said.
Blair was knifed in the neck along Atlantic Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant about 2 a.m. and was dead on arrival at Kings County Hospital a short time later, police said.
The lot where Blair, who has multiple prior arrests, was slain lies behind a Getty station near the intersection of Atlantic and Utica Avenues.
Blair immigrated to New York from Guyana about 20 years ago and had a security job in Manhattan, said his girlfriend, Deborah Umadhan, who is the mother of the couple’s year-old son.
Blair had multiple prior arrests on his record, including busts for drug possession, shoplifting and threatening someone with two kitchen knives, a police source said.
Umadhan said she and Blair lived near the parking lot where he was slain.
“I came home and saw the ambulance. Then I saw him,” she said, choking back tears. “It was horrible.”
