QUEENS TEEN SENTENCED IN 2005 STABBING

A Jamaica teen was sentenced to 18 years in prison in the 2005 stabbing death of a college student outside a neighborhood grocery store.

Jeremy Green, 19, was convicted of first-degree manslaughter and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon on July 16.

“Having been convicted for taking the life of a young man with a promising future, the defendant will now spend much of his own young life in prison,” Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.

Curtis Oliver was in front of McClain’s Grocery and Deli when he and Green got into an argument, prosecutors said. Green stabbed him once in the chest and once in the lung. Oliver, a sophomore at John Jay College, was taken to a local Queens hospital, where he died.

Green was 16 years old when he killed Oliver.
