The man went to talk to the young adults about the double parked car, and a dispute ensued.

Police say the group surrounded the man, who then stabbed 15-year-old Tory Lovik in the chest.

Lovik was later pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital.

"It's sad," one area resident said. "It's a shame, especially when it has something to do with an adult and a child. It really doesn't make any sense."
