**He was 25-40 years old. A white man and 5'9". He weighted 193 lbs. He had hazel eyes. He had previous cranial surgery. **

He was found on November 18, 2021 and brought to hospital.

He was sleeping in the stairwell of the Samuel Gompers Houses when a man set fire to his pants leg.

A picture of him is attached here.

The full story of what happened is found in the link below but it is a disgusting/traumatic story so I would not advise reading. His photo and measurements should hopefully be sufficient to identify him. https://nypost.com/2021/11/20/video-shows-homeless-man-being-torched-to-death-in-nyc-stairwell/

If you have information, you can contact (212) 447-2030 (Office of Chief Medical Examiner NYC) ; his case number is M21-37507.

The people who do this kind of thing have a two step thought process.

Step 1: Realize that the homeless* aren't people.

Step 2: Do whatever since they aren't people.

*substitute any group that is different
