Man stabbed to death in NYC street brawl was wanted for murder: sources
[NYPOST] A man stabbed to death during a vicious Chelsea street brawl was wanted for murder in Baltimore, sources told The Post.

The victim, 36, was knifed by another man Friday morning during a wild broad-daylight melee in the middle of a crosswalk, where they settled their score as non-plussed
...given that nonplussed means both surprised and confused and unperturbed, surely the NY Post editor could have searched his extensive vocabulary for a word that meant just one of those things...
New Yorkers went about their business, according to a video of the face-off.

Nisean Graves, 34, a homeless man, was later charged with murder in the fatal encounter and was held without bail during a Saturday appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Video shows Graves instigating the unprovoked confrontation by taking a swing at the victim, said prosecutor Emily Yonan, who noted Graves repeatedly gave officers different names once he was caught.
How does one "instigate" an unprovoked aggression? Isn't taking a poke at somebody a provocation?"
Graves and the victim fought for several minutes before he allegedly pulled a knife, prosecutors alleged.

The victim, who had no weapon, "threw a kick” at Graves, who simultaneously swung his blade and stabbed the victim in the chest.

Graves, who is homeless, walked away as the mortally maimed man "collapsed to the ground, while holding his chest with both hands," Yonan told Judge Stephen Antignani.

#1 It sounds like the perpetrator was a victim of white society. Both men with victims, both me were perpetrators. The million monkeys have written a realistic ending for the play Waiting For Godot.

#3 Victim not identified? Perhaps he left his 'papers' at home?
