Police have identified the killer who fatally stabbed a man in front of his wife as they were walking through Greenpoint Friday night, officials said.

Gary Correa, 19, was identified Monday as the man who murdered George Carroll when he clashed with a group of men not far from his Monitor Street apartment.

He is currently being sought by police.

“We came up with an identified perp. We are seeking him now,” said Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce.

“He is the perpetrator. He’s been identified by witnesses at the scene.”

Boyce said Correa has 13 prior arrests and lives at the nearby Bushwick Houses.

Carroll and his wife Christina had just finished dinner at a restaurant and were walking back to their apartment when he locked eyes with a man sitting with others on the steps of a school.

The suspect asked “What are you looking at?” before Carroll snapped back, “I’m lookin,'” his wife told reporters over the weekend.

The Texas native then got into a fight with the man who chased him down the street and stabbed him in the chest as his wife watched helplessly.

'It Was Just So Quick... There Was So Much Blood': Wife Describes Husband's Murder On Greenpoint Street
on Aug 20, 2017 10:48 am

The Friday night killing of a 42-year-old man on a Greenpoint street shocked the neighborhood. A neighbor lamented to the Daily News, "This stuff has to stop. This is his blood pouring down the street in this water. This is a peaceful neighborhood, this is a peaceful city, and we have to stop hurting each other."

Around 9:30 p.m. on August 18, George Carroll and his wife, Christina Romero Carroll, had been walking on Monitor Street, across from McGolrick Park, when they got into a confrontation with a group sitting on a stoop of P.S. 110. She told reporters that the group said "basically 'what are you looking at?' That was that was it. And my husband, he's a Texan, he's like 'I'm...looking.'"

Then, according to the Post, she recalled, "[T]hey got into it. They were chasing him. My husband ran. He threw his phone at them to try to defend himself. It was just so quick ... There was so much blood."

Gary Correa


Cops on Thursday arrested a teen wanted in the murder of a Brooklyn man who was stabbed in front of his wife — and they busted him right near the crime scene, according to police sources.

Gary Correa, 19, had been on the run from police for more than a week, but seems to have been hiding in plain sight — he was caught just blocks from where Greenpoint man George Carroll was knifed outside McGolrick Park on Aug. 18, sources said.

Correa, who lives at the nearby Bushwick Houses, allegedly stabbed the 42-year-old actor after they crossed paths on Monitor Street near Driggs Avenue that night.

Carroll and his wife, Christina Romero Carroll, 41, were walking home when the husband made eye contact with two men standing on a stoop.

“What are you looking at?” one of the men said, according to Christina, who said her husband shot back: “I’m lookin’.”

More words were exchanged before the men chased Carroll down the street, and he was stabbed in the left side of his chest.

Witnesses later identified Correa as the knifeman, according to police.

The 19-year-old has 13 prior arrests, including grand larceny, armed robbery, burglary and criminal possession of marijuana, according to police sources.

The teen accused of fatally stabbing an actor through the heart as his wife watched in horror in Greenpoint smirked as cops led him from a Brooklyn station house Friday.

Wearing an American flag T-shirt and a tone-deaf grin, Gary Correa, 19, was escorted by officers at the 94th Precinct into an unmarked blue vehicle.

The cops weren’t amused.

“[His smirk] was very disrespectful. It’s despicable. It just shows he has little to no remorse,” a police source said.

Correa shook his head when asked to comment about the murder of 42-year-old George Carroll, who he allegedly stabbed as the Texas native and his wife were strolling home on Monitor Street near *Driggs Avenue on Aug. 18.

The knife pierced Carroll’s heart and lungs, according to court documents Friday,

The accused killer and a pal were hanging out on the steps of a nearby school as the couple passed, according to the victim’s devastated wife, Christina Romero Carroll, 41.

“What are you looking at?’ ” one of them barked at the pair.

George Carroll shot back, “I’m looking” — and the men chased him down, she said.

The men punched him and plunged a blade into his chest, according to his wife and police sources.

Correa, who lives in the Bushwick Houses, was arrested Thursday less than a mile from the site of the killing. He was charged with second-degree murder. He also has two open robbery cases against him.

“The defendant and the decedent were strangers,’’ prosecutor Danit Almog said at Correa’s arraignment Friday, during which he was remanded.

The Carrolls had recently moved to Greenpoint from Cypress Hills, Queens, because they believed the that the other neighborhood was too dangerous.

Christina, who is also an actor, has since launched a GoFundMe page to help cover her husband’s funeral costs.

“George was a victim of a random act of violence and his death was unexpected,” she wrote. “George was a playwright and actor who loved deeply and passionately, He was fiercely loyal, and stood up for what was right. I love him, I’m in shock.”

Nearly $23,000 was donated by Friday.

The couple wrote and worked on an off-Broadway play about rapper Tupac Shakur and also appeared together in the 2016 movie “The Promise.”

The 24-year-old Brooklynite who fatally stabbed a Greenpoint playwright nearly five years ago was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Wednesday, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.
Bushwick native wild bush nigger Gary Correa chased 42-year-old George Carroll down Monitor Street and stabbed him in the chest with an eight-inch knife after the two got into a verbal argument while Carroll and his wife walked home from a nearby bar on Aug. 18, 2017. Correa fled the scene in an SUV while Carroll bled out on the sidewalk, according to the DA’s office.


Carroll was later pronounced dead at Woodhull Hospital, and cops arrested Correa just over a week later on charges of second-degree murder. He had at least 13 prior arrests, police said at the time.

Correa was found guilty of second-degree manslaughter in January after a jury trial, and was sentenced today by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Jane Tully to 20 years in prison and five years of post-release supervision.

“This was a brutal and unprovoked attack that left an innocent man dead and his wife forever traumatized,” Gonzalez said in a release. “Nothing will bring George Carroll back, but with today’s sentence we have obtained a measure of justice and ensured that this defendant will no longer be a threat to anyone else in our community.”
Carroll, a native Texan best known for writing the play “The Tragedy of Tupac Amaru Shakur or Who Shot Me?,” was less than a block from his home when he was killed. New Yorkers donated more than $24,000 to an online GoFundMe organized by his wife, Christina, to cover funeral expenses.
“My husband’s death is officially a homicide,” Christina wrote on the page in 2017. “George was a victim of a random act of violence and his death was unexpected. George was a proud Texan, playwright and actor who loved deeply and passionately. He moved to NYC, in 2001, to pursue his dreams. He was fiercely loyal, and stood up for what was right.”
On December 1, 2021, Christina posted an update to the page, letting donors and supporters know that the trial was beginning.
“Today, December 1st, would’ve been our 9th wedding anniversary,” she wrote. “It’s the first day of the trial, and so it begins…Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.”
