On Monday in New York City, the suspect in a stabbing spree, Ramon Rivera, was escorted out of the 10th precinct by police officers. It was a chaotic and horrifying morning as Rivera allegedly went on a deadly rampage, fatally stabbing two men and one woman at three different locations within just two and a half hours.
According to the New York Police Department, 51-year-old Rivera was arrested at 7:45pm that evening. The first 911 call came in at 8:22am from 444 West 19 Street, reporting a man who had been stabbed. When the police arrived, they found a 36-year-old victim with multiple stab wounds to his abdomen. He was quickly rushed to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue but unfortunately, he did not survive. He has since been identified as Angel Lata Landi from Peekskill.
Rivera has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder. The police department also stated that a bloody knife was found at the scene, lying on the pavement. This was just the beginning of a morning filled with violence and terror.
Around 10:25am, the police received another call about a man who had been stabbed, this time at 530 East 30th Street. When they arrived, they found a 67-year-old victim with multiple stab wounds to his abdomen. He was also taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, but unfortunately, he did not survive either. His identity is still unknown as of Tuesday morning, as the police are working on notifying his family.
Shortly before 11am, another call came in about a woman who had been stabbed at the intersection of 42nd Street and 1st Avenue. She was immediately rushed to New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, but sadly, she also passed away from her injuries. She has been identified as Wilma Augustin from Manhattan.
It was a devastating morning for the city as three lives were senselessly taken. It is believed that Rivera, who is currently homeless, was responsible for all three attacks. He has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and is currently in police custody. Officials have stated that Rivera has a history of documented mental health issues and has been arrested eight times in the city this year alone. He has been charged with seven felonies and one misdemeanor, including attempted assault of a police officer and five counts of burglary.
Interestingly, this is not the first time a man by the name of Ramon Rivera has had a run-in with the law. A decade ago, a man with the same name, along with another suspect, was arrested in Connecticut for stealing 7,000 pennies to buy heroin. However, the New York Police Department has not confirmed if this is the same person responsible for the stabbing spree. The investigation is still ongoing.
