There's a makeshift memorial on the southeast corner of East Fifth Street and Avenue C in honor of Corey Capers. The 31 year old died here last June 9 after being stabbed in the chest at a nearby party.
Last July, Carl Knox, 47, pleaded not guilty to a variety of charges in the alleged murder of Capers, including second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, assault and possession of a criminal weapon.
According to DNAinfo, Knox, who has also gone by the name Abdul Hakim, had a history of 26 prior arrests including an attempted rape and assault.
Capers, who lived in the Vladeck Houses, had a son and was engaged to be married.
