CVS Employee Facing Murder Charges For Stabbing A Homeless Serial Shoplifter In New York
A CVS worker allegedly knifed to death a serial shoplifter during a fight inside the Midtown store early Thursday morning, cops and law enforcement sources said.
The fatal encounter began when Scotty Enoe, 46, stopped the homeless man, who was suspected of trying to steal Gatorade and a container of creamer, near the door of the drug store at Broadway and West 49th Street just before 12:30 a.m. Thursday, according to police and sources.
The alleged 50-year-old thief, who has more than a dozen previous shoplifting arrests, socked Enoe in the face and the worker pulled out a knife and allegedly stabbed the man in the torso, cops and sources said.

The homeless man was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Responding police were notified of a “robbery in progress,” and by the time they arrived, the stabbing had already occurred.
Sources said the serial thief was known to target drug stores in Upper Manhattan. “That’s his MO, he targets CVS and Walgreens,” a police source said.
Enoe, of Brooklyn, was arrested at the scene and later charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, according to the NYPD. He didn’t make any statements to police and asked for a lawyer, sources said.
