NEW YORK – A Bronx man has been charged for the stabbing murder of 38-year-old Charles Moore on his way home from work at Citi Field on October 6th.
Saquan Lemons, 27, was charged with second-degree murder and other related charges for killing the father of two without provocation.
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark said at around 8:50 pm, Lemons approached Moore on the 4 train as it pulled into the 176th Street and Jermone Avenue subway station. Moore was on his way home from work after his shift at Citi Field.
Clark said video surveillance shows Moore tumbling out of the train. Lemons allegedly stabbed Moore multiple times in the torso. Lemons fled the scene, and the victim was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead the next morning.
District Attorney Clark said, “The victim was getting off the train when the defendant allegedly approached him and stabbed him multiple times. The father of two, who was on his way home after his work shift at Citi Field, was killed without provocation as horrified commuterswatched. We will seek justice for the victim and his family, who lost their loved one because of senseless violence.”
