Cypress Hills Man Charged For Fatally Stabbing Kid seeking justice for them and to holding this defendant accountable for his actions.” Police said the attack occurred at 5:40 p.m. on June 1 inside an apartment tower at the Boulevard Houses located at 845 Schenck Ave. Reportedly, Avitto and the 7-year-old girl were observed entering the building a short time before St. Hubert walked into the location. While inside an elevator, it is alleged, the suspect repeatedly stabbed the children multiple times about their bodies, then fled from the scene on foot. Officers from the 75th Precinct and EMS units responded to the scene. Avitto, who was found on the elevator floor, was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The girl, who reportedly managed to exit the building shortly after the assault, was hospitalized for a lacerated spleen and multiple stab wounds. Police recovered a blood-covered steak knife at the scene and performed genetic testing, law enforcement sources said. The tests indicated the knife had DNA material matching St. Hubert’s genetic profile, prosecutors noted. Reportedly, St. Hubert previously served a prison sentence for assaulting his mother; during his time in jail, he was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. According to published reports, St. Hubert was released from prison last month, just days before the deadly assault. Members of the 75th Precinct Detective Squad and the NYPD Brooklyn North Homicide Squad conducted the investigation. Assistant District Attorney Patrick L. O’Connor, deputy chief of the DA’s Gang Bureau, is prosecuting the case under the supervision of Nicole L. Chavis, bureau chief, and Kenneth M.
