A 17 year old Bronx teenager, Carl Ducasse, was
stabbed to death by a homeless man after giving
$2 to another homeless man, because the money
was too small, the victim’s mom said Saturday.
The teenager who was set to graduate high school
this month, was knifed multiple times in his chest
late on Friday, police said.
The teen’s mother, Angela Ducasse, while weeping
said:
“The homeless guy wanted more.” “He died
because of $2. I can’t believe he’s gone.”
“He was never a kid of the streets,” said
Angela Ducasse. “He was a regular
teenager. He was never arrested. He said
he wanted to be a lawyer. We already
bought his graduation clothes.”
She said after giving the $2, Carl bent down to
pick up his dropped phone, that was when the
killer struck. The suspect also stole the teen's
phone after he collapsed on the sidewalk.
Police confirmed Ducasse was approached by a
man asking for money, while they were arguing, a
second man armed with a knife appeared and
stabbed him multiple times.
A small memorial with lit candles appeared within
hours of the killing outside the teen’s home.
Carl Ducasse was rushed to St. Barnabas
Hospital where he died, officials said.
A friend who was with Carl when the attack
happened about 11:20 p.m. told the family about
the confrontation. Dad Carlos Ducasse, 49, said
the suspect lived in a nearby homeless shelter.
Fighting back tears on the eve of Father’s Day,
Carlos talked of his son’s lost future.
“He wanted to go to college,” the dad said. “He
wanted to be prepared for life.”
No arrests have been made in the killing
yet, police said.
