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.

THEY WANT HIM LOCKED UP
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.
Where are all the jail abolitionists now?

Agreed. Ryan and his accomplice aggressively approached Brian from behind, so Brian defended himself. Think of how frightened Brian must have been. In that moment, he probably thought he was about to be lynched.

Nearly as many black men are murdered each year as white men. White men are 30ish% of the population, black men are 6.5%. That's absurd.
Discussing the causes, though, is verboten. Our black population is merely children, so it's incumbent on white people to solve this problem somehow.
This year, white people people are going to try extra hard to recycle, and split their cardboard up from their glass. This is surely the answer.
White people are very devoted to finding solutions.

White people are searching for a solution quite actively indeed. They believe white supremacy and racism is the issue and have begun testing a new theory where they relocate to racist white neighborhoods that lack diversity to ensure no minority suffers a racist incident.

The defense needs to make this argument, and immediately.
Then it needs to ask the girlfriend what's more likely: that her White Savior ubermensch didn't use such a word (one that he had, in all likelihood, at some point in his life thought aloud); or that Black Bodies would lie about lived experiences.
Her eyes will spin, mouth foam: the defendant will walk.
In equal liklihood, she's already covering up her hammers and sickles with 1488s and swastikas.

Even if he didn't say it out loud, the implication was certainly there. He went to a marginalized neighborhood and took up space that black bodies need to exist. His presence was kind of genocidal when you really think about it.
