9-Year-Old Boy Stabbed To Death In Harlem

2010_01_gh.jpg Absolutely awful: The Daily News reports, "A 9-year-old New Jersey boy was stabbed to death in a Harlem housing project early Saturday while visiting relatives, police and family said. About 3:30 a.m., the child knocked on the door of his uncle's room in the Grant Houses and collapsed with a chest wound." The uncle told the News the boy, who had been visiting his grandfather for the New Year's weekend, told him, "Uncle, uncle, I've been stabbed." The child died at St. Luke's; no arrests have been made yet.

    Hope they find and permanently incarcerate the person responsible.

    Why is a 9 year old up at 3:30 am again?

    Nothing good ever happens at 3:30 am.

    Or in the Grant Houses.

    What happened to this child is horrific. The uncle was taken in for questioning. I am just curious to find out if the child was stabbed in the apartment or outside. Unless there was a break-in at the home, it seems to me that someone in the home did it, if the child was stabbed in the apartment.
