Cops arrested a suspect Saturday who they say fatally stabbed a man<\/a> in the chest in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Jayvon Boyd, 27, was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon for the stabbing, which occurred the day before. The victim, whose name has not been released, was found unconscious with a stab wound to the chest at Bainbridge St. and Howard Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant<\/a> around 7:44 a.m., cops said.<\/p>\n

EMS rushed him to Interfaith Medical Center, where he died.<\/p>\n

The victim lived in the same building as Boyd, according to neighbors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was crying when I heard about it when he died,\u201d a woman who lives in the building said. \u201cI was like, \u2018Oh, my God,\u2019 because he was so friendly, the nice neighbor. He\u2019s just gonna be missed.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said she believed the victim, whose name she didn\u2019t know, was in his 60s or possibly 70s.<\/p>\n

Another neighbor said he \u201cheard a commotion\u201d at the building Friday morning, but didn\u2019t pay much attention to it because it\u2019s not that uncommon.<\/p>\n

The victim, he said, \u201cseemed like a cool old guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was unclear what sparked the attack<\/a>. News12 said that on Friday a trail of blood could be seen leading out from the building.<\/p>\n

A small memorial to the slain man was set up on the sidewalk outside, possibly at the spot where the mortally wounded victim collapsed. On the sidewalk next to it, someone had set a takeout coffee cup.<\/p>\n

The first neighbor said the man often could be seen holding a coffee in his hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis favorite cup is coffee,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Boyd\u2019s arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court was pending Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cops arrested a suspect Saturday who they say fatally stabbed a man in the chest in Brooklyn.
