NYPD crime scene unit investigators mark the knife, shell casings, and other evidence at the scene where police shoot a 61-year-old man armed with a 14-inch knife at the intersection of 30th Avenue and 31st Street in Astoria, Queens, New York, United States, on April 14, 2025. The man is transported to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition and is later pronounced dead.
