Manhunt Underway for Bronx Stabbing Suspect as Victim's Community Struggles to Cope

Police are currently seeking the suspect in connection with Monday's fatal stabbing of 53-year-old George Ennin, a man who lived just three blocks from where he was brutally attacked on Third Avenue and East 157th Street in Melrose. The gruesome incident occurred at approximately 2 pm on Monday, leaving Ennin unconscious with multiple stab wounds.

Eyewitnesses describe the suspect as someone who fled the scene on foot westbound on East 157th Street. Authorities have stated that there is no apparent motive for the attack and the victim was an innocent bystander, as he did not know his assailant.

Ennin's death marks a stark contrast to recent trends in the area. Homicide rates in the 40th Precinct – which includes Melrose, Mott Haven, and Port Morris – have plummeted by over 20% between 2024 and 2025, dropping to just 11 cases, comparable to the citywide decline.

In light of this incident, police are urging anyone with information about the stabbing to come forward. Residents can submit tips anonymously through the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline (1-800-577-TIPS) or online at crime stoppers website.
 
This is so sad 😔, you feel for George Ennin and his family who are clearly going through a tough time right now 🤕. I mean, 53 years old, what was he even doing on that street? Maybe he was just walking home from work or something. And to get stabbed like that... ugh, it's just crazy 💥.

But you know what's even crazier is how low the homicide rates are in this area right now 🤔. I mean, 11 cases is super low, especially considering this incident. Is it a coincidence or is there something more going on? Are people starting to get really serious about safety and crime prevention? 🤷‍♀️

I don't know what's going on with our city's crime stats, but one thing's for sure – we gotta keep being vigilant and reporting anything suspicious to the authorities 💡. If you see something, say something, right? So let's all just take a deep breath and hope that this guy gets caught soon 🤞.
 
🚨💔 This stabbing in Melrose is really taking a toll on the community, with 11 reported cases of homicide last year... and now George Ennin's death adds to that number 🤕. You can see the trend in NYC homicide rates from '24 - '25 below 👇

The 40th Precinct's numbers are impressive, but this incident raises questions about the effectiveness of crime reporting & community engagement 🤔. Ennin was just an innocent bystander... it's heartbreaking that more people aren't stepping up to share info 💭.

This is so upsetting 😔... what a tragic event... my heart goes out to George Ennin's family and friends 🤕... it's just devastating that something like this can happen in our own neighborhoods... 20% drop in homicide rates in the area is amazing, but now we're hit with this... it's a stark reminder of how fragile life can be 💔... police are doing their best to catch the suspect, fingers crossed they find him soon 🤞
 
🤔 I'm telling you, something fishy is going on here... like those stats they're spouting about homicide rates in Melrose dropping by 20% - it sounds too good to be true 🤑. You gotta think, what's the motive behind this sudden change? Is it really just a coincidence that George Ennin was just "an innocent bystander" and not somehow connected to these declining crime numbers? 🤷‍♂️ I mean, what if there's more to this story than meets the eye... like maybe someone's trying to distract us from something bigger. 🔍
 
omg it sounds like such a tragedy 🤕 what's really crazy is that despite all these murders in 2024, the homicide rates in this specific area have actually gone down like 20% 📉 that does sound suspicious to me, maybe we're just not seeing the bigger picture here? and what's with people fleeing the scene on foot westbound? that doesn't even make sense 🤷‍♀️ anyway, I hope they catch the guy who did this ASAP 💔
 
this is so disheartening 🤕 i feel for george's family and friends, they must be going through an unbearable time 💔. as a community, we need to come together and support each other during this tough time 🤝. it's also really inspiring to see the decline in homicide rates in melrose, it shows that we can make progress if we work together 🌈. let's keep spreading love and kindness wherever we go ❤️ and encourage others to do the same! ✨
 
🤕 The news is really scary... I'm still trying to wrap my head around what happened to George Ennin 🤔. 20% drop in homicide rates in the area is crazy, right? 🤯 It's like the whole neighborhood is on edge now, you know? 😟 I hope whoever finds out who did this will get justice for George and his family 💕. The police are doing their thing, but it would be great if more people came forward with info 📝.
 
Ugh, this is just so sad 🤕... I mean, 20% less homicide rates in one year? That's like something out of a movie! Can you believe it? The whole city is on fire right now, and then this happens... a young guy gets stabbed and the community is already struggling to cope. I feel for Ennin's family and friends 😔. It's just so senseless. And what's with all these new-fangled crime stoppers websites and hotlines? I mean, I'm old school, I still got my flip phone 📱. But seriously, if you got any info, speak up! NYPD needs everyone's help to catch this guy 👮‍♂️.
 
🤔 This is so fishy, you know? I mean, the victim was just a random guy living on Third Avenue and then BAM! Some guy comes out of nowhere and stabs him to death. And no one saw anything? No surveillance footage? It's like the universe decided to throw us a curveball. And what's with the lack of motive? Was it just a senseless act of violence or is there more to it? I'm not saying it was some kind of setup, but come on, 20% fewer homicides in the area? That's too convenient. 😒 The cops are playing dumb and the public is buying it, but I'm not so sure...
 
you know what's wild? have you ever tried to make homemade pizza from scratch? i mean, it sounds easy but trust me, it's not lol 🍕👀 i was trying to make one last night and the crust kept getting all soggy... anyway, back to the stabbing... 20% decline in homicide rates is kinda cool, but at the same time, one life lost is still one too many 🤔💔
