RIP Samyia Spain – Killed in Park Slope – Veo Kelly Turned Himself In
Twin sisters, Samyia and Saniya Spain were stabbed outside of Natural Plus Deli on 4th Avenue and St. Marks Place in Park Slope at 2:20 am this morning.
The Daily News reported that a drunk man was hitting on the women inside the deli before they were stabbed. (Source)
“One of them guys complemented two girls, walked in with their friends, and they said, no, we’re not attracted so he called them names. They called him names back.” (CBS News)
I DON’T CARE WHAT THE SISTERS AID BACK TO HIM – NO ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN STABBED!
Other papers reported that Samyia gave the guy her name instagram.
Samyia was stabbed in the chest and neck and died. Saniya was stabbed in the arm and is alright. After her sister was stabbed, Saniya called their grandfather and said, “‘Granddaddy, Samyia got stabbed and she died.” (Source) How awful!
Update: Veo Kelly turned himself in for the murder of Samyia and for stabbing her sister. (Update here) He’s twenty years old and this mistake is going to affect his whole life. Friends of Samyia were spreading his photo on social media for days! They want #JusticeForSamyia and weren’t going to stop under the man was arrested.
The killer ran away and has not been arrested. They have a picture of him and the store must have video as well. I don’t want to hear about his mental health – he killed a young woman, whose life was just beginning!
Samyia was only 19 years old. She had her whole life ahead of her. Her sister will be haunted by this day for the rest of her life. Please pray for Saniya and her family. RIP Samyia.
Hugs,
