NEW YORK -- Ryan Carson, a social justice advocate who was on a mission to make New York a better place, was stabbed to death on the streets of Crown Heights on Monday.

People who knew Carson, 32, said he dedicated his life to trying to change things for the better.

Carrying candles, dozens of Carson's family and friends gathered at a park in Bedford-Stuyvesant to remember his life.

Police said the long-time government advocate was stabbed at around 4 a.m. about a mile away at Lafayette Avenue and Malcom X Boulevard.

Sources said Carson was standing on the street with his girlfriend when the suspect approached and asked, "What are you looking at?" before stabbing Carson in the chest multiple times.

Carson was pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital.

"I was absolutely in disbelief," said New York Assembly Member Emily Gallagher, who knew Carson before becoming a politician.

Gallagher and Carson bonded over losing close friends to drug overdoses.

In 2021, Carson walked from New York City to Albany to lobby for safe injection facilities.

For the last decade, Carson was a campaign manager with the New York Public Interest Research Group, most recently dealing with recycling and solid waste.

"Trying to deal with the unreclaimed bottles and cans that litter New York streets, but he had been involved with lots of projects with us over the years," said Blair Horner, executive director of the New York Public Interest Research Group.

Sources told CBS New York police do not have a physical description of the suspect, but said the person was acting irrationally prior to the attack.

Carson's girlfriend was not hurt.

"It was so shocking. I'm there constantly," said Max Sabo, from Bed-Stuy. "It's terrifying."

Gallagher said Carson had been sending out reminders for his upcoming birthday, adding he had a gift for bringing joy and comfort.

"If you wanted to talk, he was absolutely always ready to talk, always there for you," said Gallagher. "It's hard when the person that you go to to talk about grief is the one who died."

Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

It sucks when that it's always the ones actually trying to make a difference. Of course, it makes sense because they are the only ones hanging around those areas because they feel it's their home and want to care for it.

All the bad ones shelter themselves away.

The reddit comments on this were absolutely disgusting. They almost uniformly took it as an excuse to attack people who try to improve things as dumb SJWs or imply that we're not prejudiced or violent enough towards black people. Lots of insults towards the girlfriend as well.

What exactly do you think Im implying?

Its 4 AM.

The couple confronts a potentially dangerous person with seemingly no backup plan.

The gf apparently just stands there the whole time.

Thats just from the video. I wont say anything more until theres more info, but the situation is baffling.

Seems like getting stabbed to death in NYC is almost as common as getting shot in the rest of the country.

All this advocacy and it probably never occurred to him that he could get murdered at any time.

Investigators say he started kicking mopeds and scooters on the sidewalk and then turned to Carson and said, "What are you looking at?"
Carson is then seen placing himself between the male and his female companion to protect her. Carson tries to de-escalate the situation.
That's when police say the suspect pulled out a knife and swung at him. Carson is seen tripping and falling to the ground, and the assailant stabs him three times, piercing his heart. He then kicks him, threatens the woman, and spits in her face.

Yep. Based on the description of how it went down, the killer seems to be very very mentally ill. Victim glanced at him or at least seemed to in the mind of the killer, and that was enough for murder

It's scary to think about. I once bumped into someone who thought I was a person he had a past with, and I was just standing next to him waiting to cross a street. He yelled that he had warned me never to show my face around him again. Said he had a knife in his pocket.

I didn't know what to do so I just made no eye contact and said nothing and crossed the street and walked fast away

The article said the police don't have a description, but she was clearly there and witnessed the whole thing so idk. It was even on video.

They target people that are close. The people pretending to care about "HigH CriME dEmoCrAT cITieS!!!" aren't down in the trenches trying to make things better.

Lots of shitty people get randomly targeted too. If there is any cold comfort in a tragedy like this, it's that we still care when a person who lived trying to have a positive effect is the victim.

I'm not saying it's less of a loss of life when others are targeted, but hopefully from this loss it will raise awareness of their life and work.

Yeah, Ive learned that with that case with the 15-year-old kid who got shot by cops. The witness said he was unarmed and had his hands up and she was absolutely incorrect on both counts.

Are you talking about Adam Toledo? The teen where the cop's body cam footage showed him dropping the knife while turning around, and stood in place with their hands up, taking 0 steps towards the officer, before being shot to death?
