George Ennin, a 53-year-old Ghanaian security guard and father of two teenage daughters living in the Bronx, New York, was fàtàlly stàbbed in a random, unprovoked attàck on January 5, 2026, around 2 p.m.
He was walking to work (his first day back after a month-long vacation in Ghana) near Third Avenue and East 157th Street in Melrose/Mott Haven when the suspect approached, kicked him, and stàbbed him multiple times.
Surveillance video captured the incident; Ennin walked about 29 steps seeking help before collàpsing. He d!ed at Lincoln Hospital.
Suspect Sean Jones, 38, a repeat offender with 20 prior arrests (mostly ròbberies and assàults) has since been arrested and charged with mùrder, mànslàughter, and crìmìnal possession of a wèapon.
Very important points made by @BBSimons today on the government’s reopening of the bond market. Investors trust the government in the short term and are willing to oversubscribe to its short-term instruments (1 year or less). They are confident about the short-term outlook. But are they confident enough to lend to the government over a longer-term period? For instance, are they confident that over the next 10 years Ghana will continue to be fiscally responsible? How would the economic situation look once Prez Mahama leaves office?
