maksim gelman

Brooklyn police have begun a serious manhunt for 23 year-old Maksim Gelman who violently lashed out on Friday in a killing spree which resulted in the death of his stepfather, his ex-girlfriend, and her mother. Gelman is also wanted for “commandeering a passing car, stabbing the driver, stealing the car and running down a pedestrian” according to sources. 

“I guess he had to be a little bonkers at the time. He must’ve just caught him by surprise,” Anthony Riggio, a super at the Waterview Village condos on East 27th Street and Emmons Avenue, where Kuznetsov, Gelman and his mother had been living for 9 years, told the New York Post. “It’s a sad thing. Never in a million years,” Riggio said.
