Officers from the 42nd Precinct received a 911 call reporting that a man was being assaulted outside of 3322 3rd Ave. in Morrisania at approximately 10:34 p.m. on Aug. 18.

Upon arrival, officers discovered 31-year-old Katrell Dixon lying on the ground suffering from multiple stab wounds to the chest.
