The stabbing death<\/a> of a 53-year-old man outside a Bronx pizzeria appears to have been unprovoked, police said Tuesday as they released sureillance footage of the on-the-loose suspect.<\/p>\n

George Ennin was stabbed multiple times near E. 157th St. and Third Ave. in Melrose about 2 p.m. Monday, cops said.<\/p>\n

His killer ran off, but not before being captured on surveillance video. The NYPD released that footage Tuesday and asked the public\u2019s help identifying the suspect and tracking him down.<\/p>\n

The suspect was wearing a bicycle helmet and a black jacket adorned with white designs and lettering.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed Ennin, who was about three blocks from home when he was attacked, to Lincoln Hospital<\/a>, where he died a short time later. Invesitgators believe the killing was unprovoked, police said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Juan Reyes, 49, Enin\u2019s friend and the superintendent of his apartment building, told the Daily News the victim had recently returned from a month-long vacation in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a very nice guy,\u201d Reyes said. \u201cIt\u2019s sad, very sad. Everyone liked and respected him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enin worked as a security guard, had two grown daughters and had lived in his building for more than a decade, according to Reyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s senseless,\u201d Reyes said of his slaying.<\/p>\n

Ricky Javier, 24, was managing the pizza parlor on the corner when he heard a commotion outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard the screams,\u201d Javier told the Daily News. \u201cBy the time I got to him, he was down by the bus stop against the wall, holding himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

A trail of blood could be seen from the corner to about 15 feet down the sidewalk.<\/p>\n
