PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A fundraising effort has been started to raise money for the family of a man killed early Monday morning following a threesome in Park Slope.

A GoFundMe page had raised more than $600 Thursday morning for the family of 20-year-old Manos Ikonomidis, who was beaten and stabbed to death in the lobby of a home on 16th Street near Seventh Avenue.

"We all know the pain this young man's family is experiencing at this time," reads the page, set up by Deana Nekrasov. "No words or donations can bring back his life but every offer and support counts. Please show support any way you can in this difficult time."
