Nicholas Cleves, 23, was living in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village and working in software when he was killed on October 31, 2017 during the vehicle-ramming attack along the Hudson River Park bike path. A rented pickup truck entered the protected path beside West Street, struck cyclists and pedestrians, and then crashed into a school bus. The short, fast rampage left eight people dead and many others injured; Cleves was identified by police as one of those killed and was reported as the only New Yorker among the dead.

Investigators focused on the truck’s driver, Sayfullo Saipov, who was shot by an officer after exiting the vehicle and taken into custody. Federal authorities charged him with counts including murder in aid of racketeering, attempted murder in aid of racketeering, and providing material support to ISIS. The family and friends of Cleves were left coping with the abrupt loss of a young life that had been building around work, routine, and community in the city.

If anyone knew Nicholas Cleves or has memories of him from Greenwich Village, does that person have details that could help paint a fuller picture of who he was?
