Cedric Bennett, 44, was found shot to death underneath the lobby stairwell of 70 Amsterdam Avenue, within the Amsterdam Houses, on Wednesday night around 9 p.m., according to an NYPD spokesperson.

Bennett was shot “multiple times about the body,” and, according to ABC7, was found with “a knife in his hand.” EMS responded to the location and transported the victim to Mount Sinai West Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. There are no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.

Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.
