Police were investigating a fatal stabbing at 333 Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush after officers found a 36-year-old man with multiple stab wounds to his torso just after 7 a.m. Saturday. A person of interest was taken into custody as the investigation continued.
Paramedics took the man to Kings County Hospital, where he later died, according to News12 Long Island. His identity was being withheld pending family notification, and the NYPD had not announced charges as of Saturday. Sources close to the investigation told the outlet that the attack appeared domestic in nature, but the exact relationship between the victim and the person of interest had not been confirmed.
The building itself is a relatively new addition to the neighborhood. Records show 333 Linden Boulevard is a completed, seven-story rental property built in 2023 with 41 units, classified as a fireproof elevator apartment building without ground-floor stores, per StreetEasy.
Other Violence on Linden Boulevard
A PIX11 report published March 14, 2023, described an earlier case in which a 58-year-old woman was found unresponsive with multiple stab wounds at a home on Linden Boulevard near East 43rd Street around 3:45 p.m. on a Monday, according to PIX11. First responders pronounced her dead at the scene, and her identity had not been released as of the following Tuesday evening.
In that 2023 case, police arrested and charged 71-year-old Michael Baptiste of Brooklyn with murder, the outlet reported. Investigators described the killing as stemming from a domestic dispute but said they could not definitively state the relationship between the victim and the suspect.
A third fatal stabbing struck the area even earlier this month. Christopher Davey, 25, who lived a few blocks away on Linden Boulevard, was fatally attacked on the 800 block of Albany Avenue between Linden Boulevard and Church Avenue on Sept. 4, according to amNY. Officers from the 67th Precinct found Davey with two stab wounds to his torso not long after receiving a 911 call reporting an assault in progress, and EMS rushed him to Kings County Hospital in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. As of the following Saturday morning, no arrests had been made in that case, per the same report.

Precinct Resources and Reporting
According to the NYPD, the 67th Precinct serves East Flatbush and Remsen Village. Its domestic-violence investigators and crime victim advocates provide assistance including safety planning, legal advice, referrals to Family Justice Centers, social-services support, crisis intervention and emergency housing transfers. Those services do not establish that Saturday's stabbing was domestic.
For non-emergency quality-of-life concerns in the precinct's service area, the NYPD directs residents to call 311 or use the city's app.
The 67th Precinct recorded four murders year-to-date through Aug. 30, half the total logged through the same point in 2025, amNY reported. The recent fatal stabbings nevertheless have drawn attention to violence along Linden Boulevard. It remains unclear whether Saturday's killing at 333 Linden Boulevard is connected to the fatal stabbing of Christopher Davey on Sept. 4 or to any other case. No official government source has publicly detailed the circumstances of Saturday's stabbing beyond what has been reported, and the exact unit or floor where it occurred has not been specified. The NYPD has not released the identities of the victim or the person of interest, and no charges had been filed as of Saturday.
