18-year-old suspect charged with murder in deadly random stabbing of beloved NYC activist: sources

The 18-year-old man suspected in the grisly random stabbing death of a beloved Brooklyn social justice activist was arrested and charged Thursday as authorities recovered a knife and the sweatshirt the perp is believed to have worn during the early-morning slaying, cops said.

The person of interest, identified as Brian Dowling, was pictured with tears running down his face as officers escorted him from the 81st Precinct Thursday afternoon.

The teen – who had handcuffs around his wrists and ankles – was still wearing the same white t-shirt and stripped shorts he had a few hours earlier, when the was arrested while cops executed a search warrant at a home on Lafayette Avenue near Malcolm X Boulevard — just down the block from where Ryan Carson, 32, was knifed to death early Monday as his girlfriend watched.

Dowling is charged with second-degree murder and criminal weapons possession, police confirmed.

Dowling did not make any statements to cops after his arrest, and has already enlisted a lawyer, sources said.

Cops were searching for clothing allegedly worn by the suspect during the caught-on-camera attack — and found both Dowling and his dark Champion sweatshirt, seen in the video of the attack, inside the apartment, the sources said.

Cops also found a knife in the home, and will be working to determine if it was the murder weapon, sources said.

The teen was escorted from the apartment into a squad car by a huddle of officers a video from CBS News showed.

More than a dozen officers descended on the property during the arrest and search, the outlet said.

“Assailant has been caught,” Carson's father, Ken Carson, wrote on Facebook at 11:30 Thursday morning.

“More details will follow,” he added in a follow-up comment.

“I'm on the road…escorting Ryan Home to Massachusetts right now. I wasn't leaving NYC without him.”

Friday, Oct. 6 would have been Carson's 32nd birthday, records indicated.

You'll be happy to know that he has been charged with depraved indifference murder aka murder in the 2nd degree, which is a Class A-I felony. A conviction carries an automatic life sentence.

I am happy to know that. Thank you.

In order to show those evil chuds how backwards they are, Governor Pritzker signed legislation introducing an Immigrant Bill of Rights in Illinois, a move that was praised by Chicago legislators.

"Wait, I didn't think you'd actually send immigrants here! They're supposed to stay down there!," say those legislators as Chicago recently bans unannounced migrant drop offs.

At least 100 children – some as young as 12 – have been put on the drugs to prevent puberty since July 2022, when health officials said the practice would be stopped outside of clinical trials after a darning review of children's gender services.
