BRONX, NEW YORK - The mother of an ex-con stabbed to death outside a Bronx liquor store is reliving her “worst nightmare” after losing the victim’s older brother to gun violence 12 years ago.
Sharon Dixon’s son Katrell Dixon, 31, got into an argument outside the liquor store on Third Ave. near E. 165th St. in the South Bronx at about 10:30 p.m. Monday, cops said. As the clash escalated, the killer whipped out a knife and stabbed Dixon in the chest multiple times.
“It’s the second son I lost,” Sharon, 61, a retired MTA supervisor, told the Daily News from her home in Soundview. “It’s a mother’s worst nightmare. But there is growth in tragedy. … It just draws me closer to God.”
Katrell was released from prison on July 12, 2023, after serving a six-year stint for attempted murder for a Queens shooting that took place four years after his brother was gunned down. HIs parole was due to expire next June.
“He was turning his life around,” said Katrell’s surviving brother Darnell Dixon, 40, who works as a line cook. “He was on the right track. … He was a good brother, father and son.”
Katrell’s family says his life went off the rails when his older brother Cory Dixon, whom they described as Katrell’s “protector,” was slain.
