The girlfriend of slain New York City activist Ryan Carson was unable to identify the teen charged in his caught-on-camera stabbing — a development that could complicate the case, legal experts told The Messenger on Friday.

During Brian Dowling’s arraignment, Brooklyn prosecutor Jordan Rossman said Carson’s eyewitness girlfriend “mis-picked” his alleged killer when shown a group of photographs, the New York Daily News reported.

“She picked a different person than the defendant out of the photo array,” Rossmann said Thursday evening in Brooklyn Criminal Court.

Two other witnesses picked out Dowling from the photo lineup and investigators seized a knife and clothing that matched what the assailant was wearing from Dowling’s home, Rossman said, according to the New York Post.
