Victim in Metro slaying stabbed repeatedly during robbery on train

Washington DC – New York – The passenger who was killed during a robbery aboard a Metro train on July 4 was punched until he fell and was then repeatedly stabbed in the chest, abdomen, back, side and arms, according to a D.C. police arrest affidavit filed in court on Tuesday.

Police said in the document that the victim, Kevin Joseph Sutherland, 24, of Northeast, had struggled with the assailant after he grabbed Sutherland’s cellphone from his waist.

After the stabbing, police said the suspect threw Sutherland’s cellphone at his body and then robbed two other passengers before fleeing when the train reached the NoMa-Gallaudet stop.

The suspect, Jasper Spires (picture), 18, of Northwest, was arrested Monday after a two-day manhunt across the District. More
