Carl Ramsey was a Black man killed late on December 22, 1980, during a concentrated series of stabbings in Manhattan carried out by Joseph Gerard Christopher while Christopher was on Christmas leave from the U.S. Army.

Ramsey was the last person fatally attacked that day; accounts place the incident around 11 p.m. in the West 33rd Street area near Madison Square Garden and describe the stabbing as occurring in or around the subway system.

He was stabbed in the chest, taken for medical treatment, and died from his wounds before midnight.
