Suspected Prospect Park Stabber Charged In Murderous Tryst: PD, Report

BROOKLYN, NY — A Yonkers man was arrested after confessing to stabbing a homeless man in Prospect Park following a sex meetup, according to police and a report.

Anthony Dejesus, 28, was hit with murder and criminal weapons charges Monday in connection to the killing of Miguel Andrews, a 37-year-old homeless man fatally stabbed earlier that day near the Grand Army Plaza entrance of Prospect Park.

The New York Daily News reported that Dejesus turned himself in about 2:30 a.m., minutes after the slaying, admitting he knifed Andrews after the two met up for sex in the Vale of Cashmere — a wooded area near the park entrance.

Andrews was found with stab wounds to his torso and arms about 2:30 a.m., and didn't survive his injuries after being rushed to a nearby hospital, police said.

Dejesus was swiftly taken into custody, according to the NYPD, who said he was behind bars with charges pending as of noon Monday.
