Alleged Attack on Two Male Victims Was Unprovoked
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced that a Brooklyn man has been indicted on Murder and other related charges for allegedly stabbing two men in a random attack, killing one of them.
District Attorney Clark said, “In a shocking and unprovoked attack, this defendant allegedly stabbed two men he did not know multiple times. Sadly, one of the victims died from his injuries. We will get justice for this innocent victim and his grieving loved ones.”
District Attorney Clark said that defendant Jeffrey Jorge, 37, of Brooklyn, was arraigned on September 29, 2026, on second-degree Murder, first-degree Manslaughter and Attempted Murder in the second-degree by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Pamela Goldsmith. Remand is continued. He is due back in court on November 17, 2026.
According to the investigation, on August 26, 2026, at approximately 3 p.m., the defendant approached two men who were standing in front of 2012 Davidson Avenue. Without provocation or warning, Jorge allegedly stabbed both men multiple times. Paramedics rushed the victims to the hospital, where 33-year-old Rashaun Shettlewood died from his injuries. The other victim suffered non-life-threatening wounds. The two victims did not know Jorge.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Carolyn Daley and NYPD Detective Michael Simpson from Bronx Homicide Squad for their work in the investigation.
An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
