Cranston Man Charged for Fatal Stabbing at N.Y. Bar

A 58-year-old Cranston man has been charged with first-degree manslaughter and other charges in connection with a fatal stabbing outside a bar in Cortland, N.Y., early Sunday morning.

Mark G. Dill, 58, of 45 Eddy St., Cranston, stabbed the 31-year-old victim in the torso after an “unknown argument had ensued between the two,” according to Lt. Richard J. Troyer of Cortland police.

Officers arrived at the parking lot outside The Palm Gardens Bar at around 12:06 a.m. and found the victim, identified as Terry W. Wormuth of Cortland, suffering from a stab wound.

Wormuth was administered first aid at the scene and transported to Cortland Regional Medical Center where he later died from his injury.

Dill was at the scene when officers arrived and was arrested there without incident.

Along with the felony manslaughter charge, Dill was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree.

“At this time there is no known relationship between Dill and Wormuth,” Troyer said.

Police said an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death and the investigation is ongoing.

Family and friends of Wormuth knew him as “T-Wrecks.” He was a member of the Arachno Squad motorcycle club and his brothers, in post on Facebook, said “I’m sure you’ll be straddling some beast of a bike much like you were here on earth. We love you bro and though you may have been taken from us you will always be in our hearts and along on every mile we ride.”
