Jan 2nd
Last night, 9-year-old Anthony Maldonado was stabbed to death in Harlem. The boy was visiting family and was stabbed in the chest and later died. The incident happened at 75 La Salle Street, where Anthony’s relatives lived.
Sphere: Related ContentAbout 3:30 a.m., fourth-grader Anthony Maldonado knocked on the door of his uncle’s room in the Grant Houses and collapsed with a chest wound.
“Uncle, uncle, I’ve been stabbed,” he said.
Paramedics rushed the boy to St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital but he couldn’t be saved. His grief-stricken mother identified his body there about 8 a.m.
The NYPD said no arrests have been made, but police sources said a man in his 20s was being questioned at the 26th Precinct stationhouse.
“This person is probably not going to be going home tonight,” the source said.
Cops were searching elevator shafts and Dumpsters in the housing project last night, apparently looking for the murder weapon.
Anthony had been visiting his grandfather for the holidays.
“He was a nice boy,” the uncle said.

I wouldn’t be able to draw my hand if you have me 6 days, yet 35-year-old Stephen Wiltshire is able to draw the entire NYC skyline from MEMORY after only having a brief look of the sweeping landscape.
Stephen took a 20 minute helicopter ride above the city on Friday and since then he has been working on recreating the from the memory of that sight,”he has been sketching and drawing a mighty panorama of the city, rendering the city’s 305 square miles along an arc of paper that is 19 feet long.” He is working publicly in a gallery at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
