Video shows Brooklyn teen fatally stabbed in broad daylight

A teenage student has died after he was stabbed under the arm after school in Brooklyn Monday afternoon, police said.

The victim was identified as 17-year-old Rohan Burke, of Fillmore Avenue in Midwood.

Authorities said Burke was in the area of East 17th Street and Avenue M in Midwood just after 4 p.m. when he was attacked.

Exclusive surveillance video obtained by Eyewitness News shows the moment he was stabbed: Burke was seen standing at the corner wearing red pants. The suspect approached as Burke backed into the intersection, and that's when his attacker lashed out and stabbed him in the torso.

The teen was then able to escape, running across the street and continuing until he eventually collapsed inside a pizza shop. Workers said he was screaming for someone to call 911.

He was then rushed to Maimonides Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead overnight.

Tracey Beckles, Burke's mother, said her son said he was heading to the park that afternoon.

"He said, 'I'll be back, I love you,' like we always do," she said.

Now Beckles is begging for the attacker to turn himself in.

"You took someone's child nephew, someone's grandson, took away a part of our hearts. Please have a heart, and turn yourself in," she said.

Witnesses described a bloody, shocking scene.

"You just see the blood on the floor, it's horrifying," witness James McCollum said. "You can't see that and act like it's normal. He was very panicked, like something really happened, like something bad to his body. Like your life was basically on the line type of screaming."

Detectives are now taking a hard look at trying to identify the suspects captured on surveillance video shortly after the stabbing, with one person handing off what appears to be a knife before walking away. Sources told Eyewitness News she is the suspect's mother.

Burke was a student at Lafayette High School in Gravesend.
