Seven teenagers have been charged over the murder of a boy aged 16 whose fatal stabbing was broadcast over Snapchat.

Khaseen Morris was in the car park of a New York mall when he was stabbed in front of dozens of onlookers on September 16.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital but later died from a single stab wound, while another boy aged, 17, suffered swelling to his head and a broken arm.

According to authorities, many of the bystanders who witnessed the stabbing recorded it on their phones and posted clips to Snapchat and other social media platforms.


Detective Lt Stephen Fitzpatrick said none of the 50-plus ‘kids’ present at the scene had attempted to intervene.

Khaseen’s sister Keyanna told ABC New York: ‘You could see him like, in so much pain, and he couldn’t breathe, and he just fell, and no one helped him.’



The seven suspects are aged between 16 and 19, while an eighth teen, Tyler Flach, 18, has already been charged with second-degree murder.

The attack took place not far from Oceanside High School, which Khaseen attended, and was what police described as a ‘prearranged dispute’ over a girl.

Police say Flach had previous arrests for possession of a controlled substance and assault.

Flach’s lawyer told reporters his client ‘strongly maintains his innocence’ and ‘took the responsible step of self-surrendering to eventually clear his name’.

Bystanders allegedly filmed the incident and uploaded footage to social media

He is believed to be an aspiring rapper under the name ‘BabyTy’.

Comments on a YouTube music video under the moniker have reportedly been disabled after being flooded by angry posts about Khaseen’s death.

Paying tribute to her brother, Keyanna described him as a ‘sweetheart’ who would help anyone.
