UPDATE: The NYPD is urgently searching for the suspect involved in the tragic stabbing death of 53-year-old George Ennin, a devoted father and security guard, as he headed to work in the Bronx. The incident occurred on October 30, 2023, around 2 p.m., near East 157th Street and Third Avenue.
Ennin, who has been described as “one in a million” by his neighbor, was brutally attacked without provocation, leaving the community in shock. “He raised two daughters single-handedly,” said neighbor Michele King, emphasizing the impact Ennin had on his family. “He made a home for those two girls. They’re college-bound; they’re A students.”
Surveillance footage reveals the suspect approaching Ennin before launching a violent attack. The video shows the assailant attempting to kick Ennin, who manages to block the blow but is subsequently charged at with a knife. Ennin falls while trying to escape and is stabbed. In a desperate attempt to seek help, he takes 29 steps down the sidewalk before collapsing just 57 seconds after being attacked.
The NYPD is focused on identifying the suspect, described as wearing a jacket with large white lettering and a fur collar. Investigators hope this detail will assist in locating the individual responsible for this senseless act of violence.
Neighbor Perry witnessed the aftermath, stating, “I just walked around it. I didn’t know it was him.” The community is rallying together, mourning the loss of a man known for his kindness and dedication to his family.
Ennin had recently returned from a month-long visit to his native Ghana, making the circumstances of his death even more tragic. His friends and family are now left grappling with this sudden loss, with King lamenting, “How do you go home to get murdered?”
As the investigation continues, the NYPD urges anyone with information to come forward. The loss of George Ennin has sent ripples throughout the Bronx, highlighting the urgent need for safety in the community.
Authorities confirm that they are committed to bringing justice to Ennin’s family and ensuring that such a tragedy does not occur again. This developing story remains a top priority for local law enforcement.
