New York Police have arrested a suspect in the senseless stabbing of a Brooklyn activist. Police said that Ryan Carson had been fatally stabbed in the neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant before 4 a.m. The Monday stabbing of a man was caught on surveillance camera. The 32-year-old activist was found with multiple stab wounds on his chest. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police said that a suspect was arrested on Thursday morning. They named him Bryan Dowling. The 18-year-old has been charged with second degree murder as well as criminal possession of a weapon.
New York Police Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said that there was information about a suspect and that they were looking for a probable cause to arrest the suspect, at a media briefing on Wednesday.
He also said that Carson was fatally stabbed and then kicked in the chest by the suspect. The suspect also threatened to stab the woman who was with him. He reportedly spat on her face and fled from the scene.
The female companion seen with Ryan Carson is his girlfriend. They had attended a wedding in Long Island earlier and were sitting at a bus stop.
Authorities recovered a knife as well as the sweatshirt that the suspect was allegedly wearing when the fatal stabbing took place, from the suspect’s apartment. He was arrested at about 10 a.m., on Thursday.
Ryan Carson was an activist who fought against opioid overdoses. He started a grassroots effort after the death of his best friend who died after an overdose of heroin. He wanted to create overdose prevention centers all over the U.S.
Ryan Carson worked for a nonprofit called New York Public Interest Research Group. The Brooklyn native was remembered by his friends and many others.
The nonprofit released a statement that read, “His engaging personality, hearty laugh and wide-ranging intelligence were keys to his success in advancing the causes he deeply cared about in his work and personal life.”
