New York’s Staten Island. A 32-year-old Brooklyn man who was fatally stabbed in Stapleton last month has been arrested.
According to the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information, Sean Alston, 29, of Arlo Road in Grymes Hill, was taken into custody on Monday and is charged with two counts of criminal possession of a firearm, first-degree manslaughter, and second-degree murder.
When officers responded to a 911 report for an assault near Bay and Wave streets on November 20 at approximately 4:40 p.m., they discovered the victim, Desuan Baker-Dunning of Gravesend, mortally wounded, according to police.
A person familiar with the investigation informed the Advance/SILive.com that Baker-Dunning and a lady he had known earlier got into a verbal altercation that led to the deadly incident.
According to the source, a man who officials believe to be Alston attacked Baker-Dunning in the chest, escalating the situation into violence.
According to the police statement, EMS arrived and took Baker-Dunning to Richmond University Medical Center in West Brighton, where he passed away from his wounds.
A few days after the tragedy, which crushed her family when they should have been celebrating her husband’s birthday, the victim’s mother, Elizabeth Dunning, spoke exclusively to Advance/SILive.com.
According to her, a car drew up behind her son and his wife as they were near the McDonald’s on Bay and Wave streets, and a fight broke out.
The mother asked why her Brooklyn-based son, a father of one from a past relationship, was attending a Stapleton eatery.
Dunning remarked, “This is tearing me apart.” However, I feel like something is not adding up, so I simply want to know what occurred.
It was not immediately possible to get in touch with Alston’s lawyer for comment.
