Guyanese man stabbed to death in NY
A security guard walking home from a party was stabbed to death in a dark lot behind a Brooklyn Gas Station early Sunday, police said.

Anthony Blair, 44, was knifed in the neck along Atlantic Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant about 2 am and was dead on arrival at Kings County Hospital a short time later, police said.
The lot where Blair, who had multiple prior arrests was slain lies behind a Getty station near the intersection of Atlantic and Utica Avenues.
Cops did not release information on a suspected motive for the killing and there were no arrests as of late Sunday afternoon.
Blair immigrated to New York from Guyana about 20 years ago and had a security job in Manhattan, said his girlfriend, Deborah Umadhan, who is the mother of the couple’s 1 year-old son.
Blair had multiple prior arrests on his record, including busts for drug possession, shoplifting and threatening someone with two kitchen knives, a police source said.
Umadhan said she and Blair lived near the parking lot where he was slain.
“I came home and saw the ambulance. Then I saw him,” she said, choking back tears. “It was horrible.”
Singara Singh, 42, a clerk at the Getty station, said cops pored over footage from a security camera behind the store, hoping it filmed the deadly encounter.
Singh, of Queens, said the gas station is surrounded by a rough neighbourhood.
“It’s very dangerous here. You have a lot of projects nearby,” he said. (www.nydailynews.com)
