A murderous Harlem man died in a hail of NYPD bullets last night, after apparently stabbing two men, one fatally. Police arrived at the West 144th Street building around 6:45 last night to find one victim standing outside with stab wounds to his hand and torso, and later discovered another victim stabbed to death in his apartment near his two-year-old, who was unharmed.
Police say that the suspected killer Carlton Lewis, 21, was trying to kick Charles Davis, 50, out of the apartment. Police say that Davis, the live-in boyfriend of Lewis's mother, "didn't move fast enough, so [Lewis] stabbed him.' The weapon was a ceremonial dagger with a six-inch blade (seen here).
While one police officer took care of Davis, the other cops encountered Lewis in the stairwell, and a source tells the Post he yelled at the officers, "You want some of this?" NYPD spokesmean Paul Browne tells the Daily News, "He keeps coming. He is closing the distance between the lead officer and himself, coming at the officers with the dagger. The lead officer yells three times: 'Drop the knife!' He does not, and continues to come ... and the [lead] officer fires." At least five shots were fired, with Lewis hit three times in the torso and once in the left shoulder. He died at the scene.
It was not until Lewis was neutralized that police found the body of neighbor Marco Betancourt, who staggered back to his apartment after being stabbed. Resident Esperanza Ramirez says Betancourt was intervening to try to stop the violent dispute when he was fatally stabbed by Lewis. Ramirez tells the CBS2, "He was always a gentleman. He opened the door for you. He walked the dog. He talked to my son about fish and gave my son a fish in a huge fish tank." Another neighbor tells the News, "[Betancourt] was a stay-at-home dad who was nice to everybody. We were praying it wasn't him."

"Resident Esperanza Ramirez says Betancourt had intervened to try to stop the violent dispute, and was killed death by Lewis."
I am not really an editing troll, but whoopsie!
"He talked to my son about fish and game son a fish in a huge fish tank."
What ?????
All that's left now is the mother saying that he was a good, quiet son. See ya in hell, Carlton.
If he'd killed two more people with a dagger like that, I have no doubt a dimensional portal to the seventh Underworld would be opened and Asmodeus unleashed upon the world. We're lucky some X-Files savvy policemen showed up and saved the day.
It is sad, though, that someone was killed by what is essentially a tacky dust collector. It's like being murdered by a collectible Muppet plate.
no one would try it with a collectible muppet plate -- those things are worth their weight in gold.
Obviously you have never experienced true Animal rage.
I thought it was the ashanti dagger but I like your story better.
Ah. I thought it was the dagger that Eddie Murphy got in the Golden Child.
Never get involved in a domestic dispute.
Ditto:)

I went to school with Carlton and though I don't know all the facts, I remember him as a gentle person who was always there for his friends. It's easy to make quick snap judgments about others especially if you don't know them, but I did know Carlton and he was a genuinely caring person and I would wait for all the facts to come out.
