NY Man Accused Of Fatally Stabbing An Ex Con Who Punched His Girlfriend On J Train Has Been Released Without Bail
The man accused of fatally stabbing an ex-con who punched his girlfriend on a J train this week was released without bail Thursday after his arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
Assistant District Attorney had asked the judge to impose$100,000 cash bail on Jordan Williams, the 20-year-old from Hollis, Queens, who allegedly knifed Devictor Ouedraogo on Tuesday during a subway struggle. But the judge refused, instead electing to cut Williams loose.
“Thank you, Jesus!” his godmother exclaimed in court, while Williams’ mother — who had compared her son to Daniel Penny as a good Samaritan who was trying to protect people — smiled.

Williams, of Hollis, Queens, has been charged with manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon, authorities said. He faces up to 25 years in prison for the first charge, while the second could tack on an extra 12 months. Ingle said Williams has no prior arrests, and the two men did not know each other.
Ouedraogo, 36, was allegedly harassing commuters aboard the train as it approached Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg on Tuesday evening, the district attorney told the court. Ouedraogo, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, approached Williams’ girlfriend and asked, “Want to f–k?” Ingle said.
Williams told the man to get away from them, but Ouedraogo kept harassing his girlfriend. So Williams pushed him away and told him not to come closer.
“The deceased took one step to the defendant, and punched the defendant one or two times,” Ingle said. “He removed a folding knife and stabbed the deceased in the chest. The deceased got off the train at Marcy Ave and collapsed on the platform.”
