NEW YORK — The knife-wielding attacker who stabbed an elderly man to death during a 90-minute spree of violence lives in the same apartment building as the octogenarian victim, police believe.
Authorities on Sunday released the name and mugshot of the suspect they are hunting for in the string of unprovoked Saturday attacks that ended with 83-year-old Ramon Cintron knifed to death in an elevator in the Wyckoff Gardens complex.
Joevani Vale, 26, was identified as the suspect in a woman’s slashing in Boerum Hill Saturday afternoon — and police sources say he’s likely also the culprit in the fatal stabbing in the Wyckoff Gardens complex less than three blocks away.
