Teen Fatally Stabbed Over Headphones at Queens Barbershop

19 year old Carl Richardson was fatally stabbed at a Queens barbershop over payment for headphones he intended to sell to his attacker.

Richardson and 34 year old barber Cedric Simpson met up at Select Stylez Barbershop in Laurelton, Queens and agreed to a pre-negotiated price of $40-$50 for a pair of headphones. Richardson agreed to let Simpson hold the headphones with instructions to come back to the barbershop the next day to receive payment. Upon arrival, Simpson didn't have, or didn't want to pay, the money and refused to give the headphones back, resulting in a fight between the two.

Other barbers and patrons broke up the fight, but an "enraged" Simpson continued to attack the teen, stabbing him in the stomach multiple times with a pair of barber scissors. Richardson was pronounced dead at Franklin Hospital in Long Island and Simpson was charged with second-degree murder and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
