A teenage girl fatally stabbed on a Queens streetcorner was an aspiring FBI agent determined to find justice for her slain 14-year-old cousin, who was killed by a stray bullet just three weeks ago, relatives said Sunday. 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. Its crazy this happened. I cant believe it. Im shocked. She was a good role model.

just shows that real life sucks

That's depressing, but not entirely unexpected considering how criminals are. Hopefully everyone responsible gets caught. :'(

Is this her? She's 17? This makes no sense. How did she get those tattoos at that age?

Some places allow tattoos younger with parental consent.

She had good intentions, but as expected of a 17 yo kid, she didn't think this through. Detective work is no joke. You can't blindly enter it and expect to come out in one piece. At least join law enforcement or another agency that would increase your protection.

Is there some reason police haven't solved this yet? Aren't cameras everywhere in NYC?

And those people should not be parents, but sadly are.

She intended to become a detective but this murder has nothing to do with that. She died from a lovers spat

Goes to show you that no matter who you are you should always try to appreciate what good things you do have in life and do your best to not to take them for granted, because all it takes is one crazy scumbag and you can lose everything. Her fatal mistakes were probably openly talking about seeking the murder(s) and roaming those same streets doing so. She should have left it to the professionals, and even if nothing turned up, just let it be, try not to forget what happened for the victim's sake, and do her best to put it past her.

Edit: Pregnancy scare due to sex from a ex? Murdered by his jealous girlfriend whom was unsure which one should do the hit? So much for a role model?

Don't usually hear much about female killers in the news. Usually expect them to be the manipulative types, not the hands on types.
