Cops released a mugshot of the suspected killer in a fatal stabbing of a 51-year-old man in Harlem.
Police are looking for Prince Nunnally, 32, who allegedly knifed to death Raymond Page on Aug. 15 around 1:20 p.m. on W. 128th St. near Frederick Douglass Blvd. Responding officers found the victim with multiple stab wounds throughout his body, police said.
“Ray went out and said, ‘I am going to get me a drink, I’ll be right back.’ Two hours later, he still hadn’t come back,” said his uncle David Page, 81, who lived with Raymond. “I was in bed and I wondered what happened. Then my other nephew came upstairs and told me.”
EMS rushed the victim in critical condition to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
There has been no arrest. Police are hoping that someone will recognize Nunnally from the photo.
”The man who did it was about 300 pounds,” David Page said. “A real big guy, 200-something, maybe 300 pounds. Someone showed me a picture of him. He came by the house looking for Ray two or three times. Sometimes Ray was home, and they talked. I thought they were just friends but I couldn’t see what went on from where I was.”
Meanwhile, Raymond was very slight, less than half the suspected killer’s weight, his uncle said.
“Ray was small, maybe 110 pounds. Very quiet,” he said. “He had just come out of the hospital a month ago. He’d had surgery, all stitched up after having stomach infection. He was still weak.”
Family members were shocked why anyone would target Raymond. According to his ex-wife, Meredith Page, he was a “homebody,” the father of two 18-year-old twin boys and a 15-year-old daughter.
“He is not a street dude, he was never that,” she said. “I suspect that he knew this person. This is definitely strange and shocking.”
Raymond lived in Harlem, according to his ex-wife.
“Ray used to take care of me when I was sick,” his uncle said. “He was my home attendant for a while. He looked after me until he went back to work. He worked different types of jobs, like maintenance worker, etc. He’d just try to make a living.”
On top of their grief for Raymond, his slaying also brought a flashback of painful memories for the family: His brother suffered a similar fate when he was stabbed around two decades ago, they said.
“He lost his dad and his brother very close together, so it was very traumatic for him,” his ex-wife said. “That was his only brother, he was dealing with a lot since then.”
