Photograph of stabbing suspect from the NYPD
Late yesterday afternoon, a man was killed in midtown Manhattan, outside the James Farley Post Office on 8th Avenue at 33rd Street—which is also across the street from Penn Station and Madison Garden. According to police, he had bumped into another man who fatally stabbed him.
WCBS 2 says the two got into an argument, "causing the suspect to go into a rage and stab the man in his 20s twice." The victim, Christopher Guitterez, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The attacker fled the scene after the incident. Police are searching for him and WABC 7 describes him as a "black man, 25-35 years of age, 5'10" tall, 160 lbs, with short black hair...wearing a Black T-shirt with blue jeans and was carrying a camouflage military style backpack with the letters US printed on the back." The Daily News reports that a German tourist took photographs of the stabbing and showed them to police.
Update: The NYPD has now released photographs of the suspect and urge people to contact Crime Stoppers with information by either calling 800-577-TIPS, texting CRIMES (then enter TIP577), or going to the Crime Stoppers website.





Terrific -- the German tourist welcome wagon.
A PTSD afflicted soldier or a wannabe? If a soldier, good thing the Pentagon is providing all the mental health aid they need.
i know how he feels, when people bump into me i get all stabby.
How does this happen, with all the cops always outside Penn Station on 8th ave?
When you are angry and mentally unstable, it doesn't matter where you are.
And the cops are usually on the 7th Ave side. Not so much 8th.
But there is a Police Station between 8-9Ave on 35th St.
To simply say there is a police station there is a gross understatement. I used to work at 5 Penn, and let me tell you... ever seen a shift change? We're talking about an hourly armaggeddon-esque cacophony of sirens. The place is absolutely swimming with police. How this man was able to get away staggers the mind.
I usually notice them during the week in that area but not so much on Sunday. Yeah perhaps it was a shift change. There should have been at least SOME cops walking around. The dude just waltzed out of there without a care.
They were busy taking down reports of gay bias attack.
a black man committing a random act of violence! Now I've heard of everything!
But he be dissed by dat honky!!!
Guitterez = honky?
damn, did the tourist take the pic AFTER the stabbing? if so that is one ballsy kraut.
He looks mad.
I guess OJ just got out of jail.
To curb this kind of behavior, what we need is blade control legislation...
fatally stabbed? could be an ex-mil, they do teach you how to kill there. I don't find many minority military wannabees, usually they enlist.
I don't think you need any military background to successfully stab someone to death. Article says victim was stabbed twice in the chest. That'll about do it.
So the guy stabs someone and then just calmly walks away? Glad the German tourist got a pic...should make it a lot easier catching this fucker.
He looks like Marlo Stanfield.
Whoa. He DOES look like Marlo!
Where's Omar when you need him?
What a fucking scumbag.
Hope he has fun getting stabbed in the ass in prison.
So is that a federal offense, killing someone on the post office steps like that?
i recognize that guy.
that's marlo stanfield
Definitely Marlo. So he DID return to the streets!
Yeah, but Partlow is still behind bars, and we all know that he's the one who takes care of this sort of thing.
Maybe this is a new guerilla marketing campaign for the 6th season of The Wire. I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited.
Lover's quarrel.
