Police say a Bronx smoke shop employee fatally stabbed a man experiencing homelessness Saturday.
It happened at the Magic 7 Smoke Shop on West Fordham Road in University Heights.
Police say 59-year-old Kenneth Fair was arguing with a store employee in front of the shop around noon. That's when 54-year-old Vernon Gowdy, who is also a store employee, allegedly approached Fair from behind and stabbed him in the neck. Fair was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Police say Fair was experiencing homelessness.
A woman who knew the victim told CBS2,"He's so nice to everybody here, so I never see him have a problem with nobody."
