The suspect fled from the building and has not been arrested.

He was described as a male roughly 50 years old. He was last seen wearing dark-colored clothing.

It was not immediately clear if the victim and suspect knew each other or what their relationship was, police said.

The victim’s identity was not released Sunday evening pending family notification. 

Cops couldn’t say if the victim had been killed in his own home, but a handful of people were grieving outside 58 East 132nd Street Sunday afternoon with investigators on the scene.
