A 45-year-old man was discovered fatally stabbed inside a Queens residence after police responded to an emergency call over the weekend. The victim sustained a fatal stab wound to his torso and was located inside a triplex on Case Street in Elmhurst, as reported by NY Daily News. The police arrived at the scene shortly before 6 p.m. last Saturday but were unable to save the man, who was later pronounced dead at Elmhurst Hospital.
As more information becomes available, authorities responded to a call for assistance at 40-38 Case St., where a man was found with multiple stab wounds to the chest. According to reports, a neighbor discovered the victim face down and bleeding in the basement stairwell. The man had sustained seven stab wounds, highlighting the severity of the assault, according to a law enforcement source cited by QNS.
No arrests have been made at this time, and authorities have yet to release a description of the suspect. Homicide detectives from the NYPD’s 110th Precinct in Elmhurst, located just a few blocks from the scene, are actively investigating the incident. The identity of the victim is being withheld pending family notification.
In an effort to encourage public assistance, the NYPD is offering a reward of up to $3,500 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case. Those with any relevant information are urged to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline or submit tips via the Crime Stoppers website, or on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) @NYPDTips, as detailed by QNS.
