A 24-year-old man paid with his life for failing to ask a group of young people for a cigarette on a New York street. The murder took place in the Hell's Kitchen area late on the evening of December 6, writes New York Post.
The deceased was identified as Carlos Rosario, a resident of Brooklyn. Around 23:00 p.m. on December 6, he was walking with his girlfriend down West 42nd Street near Ninth Avenue. At the garage, a man noticed a company of three guys and asked for a cigarette.
