PHILADELPHIA -- A man wearing a New Jersey Devils cap stabbed another man to death in a posh section of Philadelphia after an argument about the hat turned physical, police said Monday.
The stabbing happened just after 3 a.m. Sunday in the city's tony Rittenhouse Square, authorities said. Emergency responders found 24-year-old Colin McGovern, of Churchville, lying on the sidewalk with stab wounds to the torso. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
"This was over a hockey cap," Homicide Capt. James Clark said, calling the crime "very senseless."
Clark said McGovern and three companions had been out for a night on the town and were just getting out of a cab with the intention of finding a hotel.
