Long Island 7-Eleven clerk stabs shoplifter to death with boxcutter

A clerk at a Long Island 7-Eleven has been charged with manslaughter after he fatally stabbed a shoplifter with a box cutter in a nearby parking lot early Thursday, cops said.

Conroy Jarman, 29, confronted the alleged thief, Raquan Jackson, 31, and chased him out of the store on Broadhollow Road in Melville around 12:30 a.m., according to Suffolk County police.

Jarman trailed Jackson from the store into a nearby parking lot on Walt Whitman Road in Huntington Station, where he stabbed him with a box cutter, authorities said.

“The clerk and the subject got into an altercation which turned violent,” Suffolk County police Detective Lt. Kevin Beyer said at a press conference, according to ABC 7. “The subject was stabbed with a box cutter, which the clerk had in his possession which he was using at the store.”

Jackson — who had taken a few food and drink items — was pronounced dead on scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner.

Jarman was charged with second-degree manslaughter. He will be held overnight at the Second Precinct of the Suffolk County Police Department and arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Friday.
