Police ID Suspect Sought In Fatal Stabbing Of Bronx Teen

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Police have identified a suspect wanted for allegedly stabbing and killing a teenage boy and injuring three others during a house party in the Bronx.

Police said they are looking for 18-year old Ken Goodwin in connection with the death of 14-year-old Justin Fallu last month.

Back on Sept. 28, police said they were called to a home around 3 a.m. on Barnes Avenue in Morris Heights.

When they arrived, they found Fallu stabbed in the chest, police said. Two 18-year-old teens and a 17-year-old male had also been stabbed, police said.

Witnesses said there was a house party going on when a fight broke out that spilled onto the street.

All four were taken to Jacobi Hospital where Fallu died, police said. The other three are recovering.

Fallu's uncle said the teen came from a good family and was too young to have enemies.

"Good kid. No guns, no nothing," he said. "So why would they take his life like that?"

Authorities have released a photo of the suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS, visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or text tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
