Alawyer for a teenager charged with randomly stabbing a New York City poet
to death and then spitting in his girlfriend's face claimed his client is
a "good kid" who wasn't "looking for trouble."
Brian Dowling, 18, was arraigned Thursday night for the caught-on-camera
murder of Ryan Carson in front of his girlfriend, Claudia Morales, on
Monday after the pair left a wedding.
Video surveillance shows a man police have identified as Dowling bark at
Carson, "What the f--- are you looking at?" and "I'll kill you," then stab
him three times as he tries to flee.
"It’s pretty clear when you look at the video, he wasn't out there looking
for trouble but was in the middle of an episode, and in that episode
things unfolded," attorney Kenneth Montgomery told Fox News Digital.

"That person had anger issues, and it spilled into something else." The
lawyer would not directly confirm his client was the man in the footage.
"I do know this young man comes from a good family, and I can’t imagine
him not being remorseful for something like this if the facts are what
they say they are [and he did this]," the attorney added. "He is a great
kid but clearly may have some mental health issues."
After Dowling was arrested Thursday, he sobbed as he was escorted from the
81st Precinct to a waiting police cruiser. Once inside the car, the tears
continued to roll down his face.
That night he appeared before Judge Joshua Click in Brooklyn Criminal
Court, glancing at his shaken parents in the gallery.
Dowling is accused of knifing 31-year-old Carson "without provocation" at
a Brooklyn bus stop early Monday, Assistant District Attorney Jordan
Rossman told the court, the New York Post reported.
Montgomery argued that his client has no criminal record, isn't a flight
risk and deserves bail, which Glick denied.
Investigators executed a search warrant on Dowling's home and recovered
clothing that matched the outfit the suspect was wearing in the footage,
Rossman said.
Two witnesses positively identified Dowling as Carson’s killer in a photo
array. The victim's girlfriend failed to pick Dowling, the prosecutor
said.

The shocking footage that has gone viral shows the couple sitting on a bus
stop bench on Lafayette Avenue near Malcolm X Boulevard chatting a little
before 4 a.m. Monday.
After a man strolls by them, they stand up and begin walking in the same
direction, wearing their formal attire from the wedding they'd just
attended on Long Island.
After the man kicks over some scooters near the curb, he suddenly turns to
Carson. "What the f--- are you looking at?" he said. "I'll kill you."
Carson steps in between his girlfriend and the man, holds up his hand and
calmly tells him, "Chill! Chill!"
The assailant then pulls a knife and lunges at Carson, who trips and falls
to the ground, and stabs him three times, puncturing his heart.

The killer turns to Morales, spits in her face, then kicks Dowling, who is
curled up on the sidewalk mortally wounded.
Dowling allegedly fled as Morales kneeled beside her boyfriend and called
911, but Carson was already dead.
A GoFundMe page has raised more than $71,000 for Morales and Carson's
friends to take time off work to mourn.
"We are a collective of Ryan's close friends, reeling from a brutal loss,"
the page says. "We are asking for your help on behalf of his partner in
easing the burden and stress of this horrifying situation so that we can
have space and time to grieve and remember Ryan. Immediate needs are to
offset the costs of working-class people taking time off of work to
properly mourn."

Carson worked as a senior solid waste campaign manager at the New York
Public Interest Research Group, according to his LinkedIn. He also created
the campaign NO OD NY to address the crisis of overdose deaths.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-
N.Y., with whom Carson had worked on the Inflation Reduction Act, posted
tributes to the community activist on social media.
Dowling is due back in court Wednesday.
