BRISTOL, TN – A shocking and random act of violence has left many in disbelief: a homeless man from Bristol, Tennessee allegedly murdered another homeless man while he slept. The brutal stabbing occurred outside a hotel last month, and it wasn’t until hours later that the victim’s body was discovered in a pool of blood.
The Brutal Attack
Around 3:15 a.m. on November 8, Shichun Lin, 58, reportedly approached Kan Shing Cheung, 68, who was sleeping outside the Fairfield Inn and Suites on East Broadway near Pike Street in New York City.
Lin allegedly stabbed Cheung multiple times in the chest, ending the man’s life in a senseless act of violence. Authorities say Cheung was found hours later, lying face down, around 8:15 a.m., with no sign of a struggle. It is believed to be a random attack, with no prior interaction between the two men.
A Frantic Escape and Arrest
After the murder, Lin allegedly fled the scene, carrying a plastic bag tied around his waist. Sources claim he made his way back to his hometown of Bristol, Tennessee. There, he managed to stay under the radar until this week, when police arrested him in connection with the crime.
Lin was taken into custody without incident and transported back to New York, where he was arraigned on murder charges in Manhattan Supreme Court. He was held without bail.
Lin’s Previous Arrest and Legal Proceedings
Lin, a homeless man himself, was previously arrested for shoplifting in Queens in 2022. Now, he faces serious charges for the murder of Cheung. At his arraignment, Lin was led out of the 5th Precinct with his head down, offering no comments.
The investigation continues, and authorities are focused on uncovering more details about the motives behind this violent attack.
