"They killed my lil super man. #rippj only two more weeks until your 7 birthday. Tears forever ??? this can’t be life #foreversuperman #babycuzz???"

Taj Gibson’s six-year-old cousin, Prince Joshua Avitto, was stabbed to death in a gruesome incident in Brooklyn. The New York Post reports that a maniac attacked Avitto, and seven-year-old-girl Mikayla Capers, with a butcher knife as the young kids were together in an elevator, and fled the scene.

Carter survived the attack and was taken to the hospital. Police recovered the butcher knife at the scene, and were reportedly unsure whether the crime was connected with an incident on Friday night in which an 18-year-old woman was stabbed 32 times.

Update: WPIX has released a police sketch of the suspect:
