Talasia Cuffie, 17, bled to death after she was stabbed multiple times on the sidewalk of 166th St. near Foch Blvd. in South Jamaica about 10 p.m. on Friday. Her cousin, 14-year-old Aamir Griffin, was slain by a stray slug while playing basketball outside the Baisley Park Houses in South Jamaica just three blocks from where Talasia was killed on Oct. 26. Police believe an ongoing gang war Aamir had no involvement in provoked the wild gunfire. Family members of the tight-knit teens told the Daily News they worry the killings are related, though police have yet to determine if there is a connection between the two deaths. They need to find the person who did it," said Trevor Mendez, 26, a cousin of the tragic pair. Aamir was her godbrother. She was devastated when he died, and she wanted to find answers." She was determined to find out who killed him, he added. Family and friends said Talasia served as a positive role model to younger kids in her community. Talasia was good-hearted. She was always there for people and very friendly. She always took care of family, said Sean White, whose two daughters often played with Talasia. She was planning to go to college.
