Wins also reported on a stabbing in Times Square.
This stabbing follows another fatal stabbing of 39-year-old Leonidas Beyes last month. A 17-year-old accused of that murder told authorities that he was influenced by a, quote, mess with crackheads social media trend. As of Saturday, police were still searching for a suspect in the latest case.

Another stabbing near Times Square.

**Glenn Schuck** (1:48)
This violence is happening in front of a pizza shop here at 42nd and 9th, around 2 in the morning. A 42-year-old man was stabbed once in the chest. EMS got here and treated him on the sidewalk and then got him to Bellevue Hospital, where I'm told he is in stable condition. Now, initially, there were no arrests, as the NYPD tells me. They're looking for a man who was last seen running east on 42nd Street toward the Port Authority bus terminal. They're also reviewing surveillance cameras in the area. And they also spoke to a couple of construction guys who were working in the street here, right in front of this scene, as to what they may have witnessed. Glenn Schuck, 1010 Wins.

Authorities say around 830 on the night of July 23rd of last year, that would be the 26th of last year. An argument broke out during that party, someone fired a gun and that is when police say McDaniel began randomly shooting down the street, killing a man, injuring a seven-year-old girl who suffered a graze wound to the head. Two other suspects identified, Lawrence Coleman, expected to have a waiver trial this fall.
Authorities are still looking for the other person, Virgil Williams McDaniel is set to be sentenced in October.

In the Philly area, a teen has also been charged with the murder of another teen that occurred just this week. Here's KYW with the details.

**SPEAKER_9** (4:30)
A 16-year-old Norristown boy is charged with first-degree murder accused of shooting and killing a 15-year-old last night as part of an ongoing dispute. KYW Suburban Bureau Chief Jim Melwood has more.

**Jim Melwood** (4:43)
The call for the shooting on Hawes Alley off George Street came in around 838 A 15-year-old boy died from a single gunshot wound to the head. According to the criminal complaint, 16-year-old Alex Herrera was stopped by police shortly after the shooting because he had a strange gait as he ran away with a large group of other teens and the sergeant thought he may have been hurt. Herrera told police he was the victim of an assault and he was taken to the Norristown Police Department where his mother was contacted. Charging documents say Herrera told police he and some friends had a beef with another group of teens and earlier in the evening set out to find them. He brought a handgun he'd purchased from a 17-year-old, the complaint says, to make sure things didn't get out of hand. Authorities say the groups met up three times but had to keep moving because of a police presence. At that third location, the complaint says Herrera told police he was assaulted. He pulled the gun and pointed it at a 15-year-old, telling him to back up, then pulled the trigger. Herrera is charged with first and third degree murder. At the Suburban Bureau, Jim Melward, KYW Newsradio, 1039 FM.
