Suspect who stabbed 19-year-old woman to death at Park Slope bodega sought by police
A 19-year-old woman died on Sunday after she was stabbed in the chest at a bodega in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and police were still searching for the suspect on Monday.
NYPD officials said Brooklyn resident Samyia Spain was stabbed around 2:20 a.m. Sunday at 77 4th Ave., where the Slope Natural Plus corner store is located. Officers responding to a 911 call about an assault found Spain, along with another 19-year-old woman — who police said was her twin — stabbed in the arm.
Both women were transported to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where Spain was pronounced dead and her sister was reported in stable condition. Spain lived at the Wyckoff Gardens New York City Housing Authority complex in Boerum Hill, just a couple of blocks from the bodega, according to police.
The stabbings stemmed from a verbal dispute with the suspect, but an NYPD spokesperson had no further details on Monday.
