A Queens woman found her 33 year-old son<\/a> stabbed to death<\/a> on the steps of the family\u2019s home, she told the Daily News in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was still conscious when I found him here on our doorstep,\u201d Debra Scott said of the moment she found her son Jose Scott fatally wounded about 9:45 p.m. Sunday. \u201cHe was bleeding a lot. He said, \u2018Help! Help me!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Cops say Jose was stabbed multiple times across the street in front of a 24-hour laundromat on Merrick Blvd. near 221st St. in Laurelton. No arrests have been made and police have not disclosed a motive.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarlier in the day, we watched basketball on TV and we shared what we were going to do together,\u201c his mother said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what happened after that.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cHe leaves two small boys,\u201c she said of her unmarried son. \u201cHe wanted more kids.\u00a0 He was a real family man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jose\u2019s siblings are reeling from the shock slaying so close to home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt started across the street at the laundromat ,\u201c said his sister Keturah Chatman, 34. \u201cHe was trying to get into our house when he fell out. It was with his last bit of energy.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cThe detectives are still trying to piece it together,\u201d she added. \u201cWe\u2019re all trying to figure out who would do this to him. We can\u2019t even fathom \u2026 Our family is heartbroken and definitely broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

His other sister, Shakiema Scott, 37, is also desperate for answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy brother was a good person and a great father,\u201c Shakiema said. \u201cHe was a hard-working personal trainer.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cHe worked with all the young kids in the neighborhood,\u201c she added. \u201cHe looked out for them. He tried to show them a different way to get them off the streets. He was beloved in the community. We\u2019re devastated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Queens woman found her 33 year-old son stabbed to death on the steps of the family\u2019s home,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,12,63,261,122,124,123,265],"class_list":["post-330030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-crime","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-sub-county-region"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
