Sister of NYC stabbing victim remembers his ‘wholesome spirit,’ calls for killings to stop
NY Post
An 18-year-old man stabbed to death in the Flatiron District this weekend had just come back to the city after wrapping up his first semester of college when he was killed, his sister said Sunday — as she called for such senseless bloodshed to stop.
Denzel Bimpey, of the Bronx, was a “wholesome spirit” with an infectious grin who loved basketball and LeBron James, recalled his sister, Godslove Bimpey, in an interview with The Post.
“He was your average kid from the Bronx, trying to do better,” said Godslove, 28, also of the Bronx. “He had great role models ahead of him.”
The teen had just finished finals at SUNY Morrisville in upstate New York and been sick for the last few days before he took the bus home from nearby Syracuse for the holidays.
“He said he would be home at like 12, because there’s always traffic,” said Godslove. “That was the last time I spoke to him.”
She never saw her beloved brother alive again.
