NYC Crime: Investigation underway after quadruple stabbing at Brooklyn dance studio

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (WABC) — A dance studio owner must defend her name and reputation after the business she worked so hard to build turned into a crime scene early Sunday morning.

Kyaisha Max-Macarthy and her husband have been working in the dance industry since 2010. The couple spent time Sunday cleaning up their dance studio in Crown Heights, where they have been for about three years.

Police responded to the studio at 1493 Park Place shortly after midnight after four men in their 30s were stabbed inside the store.

In just five days, students were set to begin a new semester of classes, but due to events, Max-Macarthy, who calls himself “Coach K,” is unsure what will happen next.

Max-Macarthy says her husband rents out the premises from time to time to bring in extra money to make ends meet, but an incident like this has never happened to them. The event was a recommendation for a private party that had nothing to do with the dance academy, said Max-Macarthy.

She says she does not know the victim, who police say is not cooperating with authorities in their investigation.

Although they are expected to be fine, Max-Macarthy is beyond upset.

Children who have attended classes at Max-Macarthy’s dance studio have competed in and won competitions of all levels.
