Social justice advocate stabbed to death in front of his girlfriend in New York City.
A New York City man who dedicated his life to fighting for social justice was fatally stabbed in Brooklyn on Monday, according to multiple reports.
Ryan Carson, 32, was stabbed at around 4 a.m. in the Crown Heights neighborhood while standing on the street with his girlfriend, police sources told CBS News.
The assailant approached and asked, “What are you looking at?” before stabbing Carson in the chest numerous times, the outlet reported, citing sources. The outlet reported that Carson’s girlfriend was not injured during the attack.
Police said there have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing, per CBS News.
Carson was a longtime campaign organizer for New York Public Research Group whose work recently focused on improving recycling and solid waste management.
The organization issued a statement after his killing, saying, in part, “Ryan was a beloved staffer, colleague and friend, and a creative, talented, relentless and upbeat advocate for students and the environment.
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.”
