The clip, posted on X (formerly Twitter) by user @ImMeme0, features Cruz rolling his eyes and smiling while a provocative song plays in the background.

UPDATE: Jaia Cruz, initially reported as a “woman,” has been identified as Alvin Cruz, a 24-year-old transgender, accused of fatally stabbing a postal worker in Harlem.

The fatal encounter occurred on Thursday at Joe’s Deli Grocery on 168 Lenox Avenue.

According to witnesses, 36-year-old Hodges, a USPS worker and father of two, was waiting in line to buy lunch when an argument broke out between him and Cruz.

Deli employees reported that the confrontation escalated quickly, with Cruz spitting in Hodges’ face before stabbing him in the stomach.

Hodges was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Hodges’ grieving family declined to comment extensively when approached by reporters on Saturday, stating only that they were “not doing well.”

Cruz, now facing murder charges, has a history of violent behavior, according to law enforcement sources.

He had been arrested five times prior to the stabbing.

In July 2020, Cruz was apprehended for threatening a person with an open box cutter in Midtown West, shouting, “I’m going to cut him.”

He resisted police orders to surrender and was subsequently charged with resisting arrest.

Just two weeks later, she was implicated in a robbery at knifepoint alongside an accomplice.

The video posted online has drawn additional scrutiny, with many questioning whether it reflects Cruz’s state of mind leading up to the attack.

The nine-second clip, in which Cruz appears to revel in the moment, adds an unsettling layer to an already tragic story.

As authorities piece together the events surrounding the incident, the community grapples with the loss of a father and public servant.

The motive behind the argument remains unknown, but the violent act has left a lasting impact on Hodges’ family and the Harlem neighborhood where the crime occurred.

Cruz remains in custody as the investigation continues.

Further details about the case are expected to emerge in the coming days.
