A Bronx 18-year-old was stabbed and left for dead after an argument during a Memorial Day cookout, according to police and witnesses.
Police say Damion Gilbert was found stabbed in his chest at East 212 Street and Dekalb Avenue in Norwood about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
He was rushed to an area hospital, where he died.
The superintendent for a building nearby said a group was having a cookout in a courtyard that was supposed to be restricted. Teens began arguing about some sort of game and then it got out of hand, leading to the stabbing.
"All I heard was screaming," said one witness. "Just screaming and a lot of people talking at once.
Surveillance footage from the scene shows a fight spilling onto the sidewalk amid a confused scuffle with multiple people.
Then, the footage shows Gilbert falling to the ground, apparently seconds after he was stabbed.
