Ex-Librarian’s Life Unraveled Before His Murder in Harlem Shelter
(DNAINFO) Sybile Penhirin | January 29, 2016 — Devon Black recently pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
The former special education teacher murdered in a homeless shelter led a full life until his career, marriage and finances unraveled over the past two years, according to court records.
Deven Black, 62, a former librarian and teacher, who had his throat slit by his angry shelter roommate on Wednesday, was described by friends and family as “generous,” “empathic” and “hard-working.”
But a different side of Black emerged recently, a side they said they found hard to reconcile with the man they thought they knew.
