Man fatally stabbed in neck at NYC shelter after being ‘terrorized’ by alleged killer for months

A man known for his kind and warm demeanor was fatally stabbed in the neck at a Bronx shelter after enduring months of “torment” from his alleged killer, according to police and witnesses.

The victim — a 48-year-old resident of the shelter identified only as Joey — was killed Saturday night in the stairwell of a supportive housing shelter on E. 162nd Street, where residents found a horrifying scene of blood spattered across the corridor just before 11:30 p.m.

“I could see the blood on the stairwell, and, unfortunately, he passed away on the platform of the stairwell,” said 29-year-old Shannon, a resident at the shelter who was friendly with Joey.
