- Daniel Rakowitz (born in 1960) – A 1980 graduate of Rockport-Fulton High School who went on to become nicknamed the "Butcher of Tompkins Square" when in 1989 he accidentally murdered his roommate by punching her in the throat. The victim was a Swiss dancer named Monika Beerle. Rakowitz then proceeded to chop her body into little pieces and cooked them up into a soup which he served to the homeless people of Tompkins Square Park in New York City, New York. He was found "not guilty by reason of insanity" and he remains incarcerated at the Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center on Ward Island. Rakowitz was reportedly a marijuana dealer on the streets of New York
