Stabbed to death trying to defend a teenager in a neighborhood dispute
Day 38

I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Oh my gosh. God bless him for what he did and God bless his family. What a tragedy, what a loss.
Very nice memorial. However, why all the booze bottles? The candles, I get…
It is very nice, that is my Brother-in-law who was murdered by the teenagers rivals/others whom he disputed with .. The booze bottles next to his memorial are for another person whom was also murdered right around the corner, both cases STILL unresolved. The bottles are placed there as a rememberance , that although they are not here with us we will still remember them, and will drink for them .. for the case of my brother-in-law, he was a hardworking man, and would gather with his close family and friends on the weekend for a drink .. if he would have still been here we wouldve been drinking all together … usually its theyre favorite drink one will place .. we miss you dearly O.! <3
