<p class="mol-para-with-font">Correa was expected to be arraigned on Friday.<br />
On August 18, Carroll had just left dinner with his wife, Christina Romero Carroll, around 9.30pm when they came across a group of people, including Correa.<br />
The 20-year-old was identified as a suspect by police after another man he was hanging out with showed up at the crime scene to pick up his car, which he left behind during the attack.<br />
That man reportedly, did not take part in the murder.<span class="mol-style-bold"> </span></p>

</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Carroll and his wife were walking down Monitor Street in Greenpoint near the group of young men who were hanging out around an SUV, Carroll&#8217;s wife told <a class="" href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Man-Walking-With-Wife-Stabbed-to-Death-in-Brooklyn-NYPD-Greenpoint--441079693.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">NBC 4</a> a few days after the stabbing.<br />
One of the men looked at her husband, they made eye contact and he spoke to him.<br />
&#8216;It&#8217;s basically &#8220;what are you looking at?&#8221; That was it,&#8217; Romero Carroll recalled. &#8216;And my husband, he&#8217;s a Texan, he&#8217;s like &#8220;I&#8217;m&#8230;looking.&#8221;&#8216;<br />
She said the man then chased her husband, stabbed him, and sped off with his pal in the SUV. Carroll was taken to Woodhull Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.<br />
&#8216;Mr Carroll was walking down the street and just some eyes back and forth led to a dispute,&#8217; NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said.<br />
The suspect has a long arrest record, police said. His record paints the portrait of an out of control career criminal. He has 13 previous arrests for robbery, burglary and drug possession. He has two pending cases of robbery at gunpoint, both of which took place on the same day in 2016.<br />
He was most recently arrested in May and charged with robbery and grand larceny.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;It’s still not registering… We had just seen an apartment — we were going to see two more apartments today. I can’t believe we’re talking about him in the past,&#8217; said Christina Romero Carroll about her late husband.<br />
The incident took place near Msgr. McGoldrick Park in Brooklyn.<br />
Carroll was a writer and actor who was originally from Texas, his wife said. He moved to New York in 2001 and they recently moved from East New York to Greenpoint because they thought it would be safer.<br />
Despite Greenpoint&#8217;s rapidly rising rents and high standard of living, residents of the neighborhood say that over at McGolrick Park, less than a block from where Carroll was stabbed, a growing homeless population and raucous youth are causing concerns.</p>
