Man Stabs 3 to Death in Brooklyn, Police Say.............
The suspect, identified by the police as Maksim Gelman, remained at large on Friday night after leading the police on a trail of death and destruction that stretched across the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn.
The police said that the rampage began with an argument at about 5 a.m. in the apartment on East 27th Street that Mr. Gelman shared with his stepfather, Aleksandr Kuznetsov, 54, and his mother, Svetlana Gelman, 48. What the argument was about, the police did not say, but they said it ended with Mr. Gelman’s repeatedly stabbing Mr. Kuznetsov.
Mr. Kuznetsov, an ambulette driver, was pronounced dead a short time later. By then Mr. Gelman, 6 feet tall and 170 pounds, had fled. The police said he drove away in a Lexus and vanished. The police circulated his picture, and it was posted on a number of news Web sites and Brooklyn blogs.
About 4:20 p.m., someone called the police to report another argument and two more stabbings a few blocks from where Mr. Kuznetsov had been found dead. The police sent officers to the address the caller had given on East 24th Street. There, they found the bodies of Mr. Gelman’s girlfriend and her mother. Their names had not been released as of late Friday.
The police said Mr. Gelman had dashed out of their apartment and jumped into the Lexus. He drove a few blocks along East 24th Street to Avenue U, where he abandoned the Lexus and commandeered a passing car.
