The son of former de Blasio administr🧸ation aide Rachel Noerdlinger was cꦜharged with manslaughter Monday for stabbing a mugger to death in New Jersey.
Khari Noerdlinger, 19, was fighting off the robbery attempt Sunday night when he plunged his knife into the right leg of 16-yea💦r-o🍨ld Savion Lewallen, causing him to bleed to death, acting Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir Grewal said.
Lewallen and four others were trying to rꦅob Khari Noerdlinger at around 10:30 p.m. in Edgewater, the prosecutor said.
Lewallen died ꦿat a hospital as a result of the stab wound.
Khari Noerdlinger allegedly tried to remove evidence fro♛m the scene, officials s⭕aid.
He was charged with aggravated manslaughter, possession of a weapon and hinder🌸ing apprehension.
Lewallen had been released from jail last month after being convicted for assaulting a 15-year-old high school g🤪irl, according to the Journal News.
A lawyer for ไKhari Noerdlinger called the manslaughter charge “stunning” because his client was the one being mugged when he stabbed Lewallen.
“He was the victim of an armed♑ robbery,” the lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, told The Post. “We will fight this case vigorously and bring Khari home.”
Lichtman said that Khari’s𝐆 mother, Rachel, was “devastated” by the news.
“Khari’s her baby,” Lichtman said. “She’s completely and utterly d𝔍evastated.”
Rachel Noerdlinger was forced to resign as city first lady Chirlane McCray’s chief of staff in November 2014 after a series of embarrassing revelations — from tax liens and parking tickets to the cop-hating tweets of her boyfriend, a convicted killer and former drug dealer.
The last straw was the trespassing arrest of her teenage son, who was ℱbusted alongside two friends who had pot o𒅌n them at a notorious drug spot in Washington Heights.
Prior to working for McCray, Rachღel Noerdlinger was a spokeswoman fo♏r the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.
