BROOKLYN, NY — Police are looking for two men after a stabbing in East Flatbush left 25-year-old Christopher Davey dead late Saturday. Investigators say the assault happened in front of 882 Albany Ave., where someone called 911 to report an attack.
When first responders arrived, they found Davey bleeding from two stab wounds to the torso. He was taken to Kings County Hospital, but doctors there pronounced him dead.
Authorities have not said what led to the attack, and no arrests had been announced Saturday evening. Police said Davey lived only a few blocks from where he was found.
Police say the suspects fled in a black sedan
According to police, the two suspects left the scene in a black sedan. Officers were still searching for them as the investigation continued.
The men have not yet been publicly identified. Police have not released a description beyond saying that two males were involved.
The immediate focus for investigators is finding out who attacked Davey and how the encounter unfolded before the stabbing. So far, authorities have released only the basic facts of the case and the vehicle used to leave the area.
Neighbors said they heard nothing until paramedics arrived
People who live nearby said they did not hear any disturbance before emergency crews showed up. Their accounts suggest the attack may have happened quickly and without much warning to surrounding residents.
After the scene was secured, surveillance video from Friday showed laundry bags on the ground beside crime scene tape. That footage offered a glimpse of the block after the stabbing, though police have not said whether the video captured the attack itself.
The block remained under scrutiny as officers and investigators worked through the evidence and tried to determine what happened in the moments before Davey was wounded.
Davey was taken to Kings County Hospital but could not be saved
First responders transported Davey to nearby Kings County Hospital after finding him injured. Despite the emergency response, he was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Police identified the victim as 25-year-old Christopher Davey. They also said he lived a short distance from the site of the stabbing, which placed the deadly encounter close to home for his neighborhood.
The killing adds to the urgency of the case, with detectives now working to trace the suspects’ movements and piece together the timeline from the 911 call to the getaway.
What investigators have released so far
Police have not said whether they believe Davey and the suspects knew one another. They also have not identified a motive or said whether the stabbing was random or targeted.
At this point, the publicly known details are limited to the location, the victim’s injuries, the hospital response and the vehicle used in the escape. That leaves investigators with eyewitness accounts, surveillance images and scene evidence as the main tools in the case.
Anyone with information about the stabbing would likely be important to the investigation, since police are still trying to identify the men involved and understand what happened outside the East Flatbush address.
A Brooklyn block now tied to a homicide investigation
Saturday’s killing turned a stretch of Albany Avenue into the center of a homicide investigation. For neighbors, the scene became visible only after emergency crews arrived and crime scene tape went up.
Police are continuing to search for the two men connected to the stabbing, and no arrests were announced by late Saturday evening. The case remains open as detectives follow the trail left behind at the scene and by the black sedan that sped away.
For now, the focus remains on identifying the suspects and establishing why Christopher Davey was attacked in the first place.
