That’s when the abuser turned on Capers, fatally stabbing him in the chest.
“He was a wonderful guy. He had a heart of gold. He died trying to protect someone,” said Nashaba Torres, 37, a friend who spoke to The News at Capers’ apartment Saturday night.
Capers’ fianceé was too distraught to speak and was sobbing in their apartment, blocks from the murder scene. Friends said Capers had a 5-year-old son and had worked as a handyman.
The killer remains on the run.
