Police arrested a man who fatally stabbed a 38-year-old woman and wounded a man during a house party in the Bronx, cops said.
Lamont Wilson, 46 was intoxicated and told to leave a house party on Macombs Rd. near Inwood Ave. in Highbridge, according to police. Angered, Wilson, in retaliation, pulled out a knife and stabbed to death Britney Webb, 38, and also stabbed a 46-year-old man in the left leg. Cops arriving at the scene found Webb with multiple stab wounds to the chest and back around 3:30 a.m. and arrested Wilson later that night, sources told the Daily News.
“It was a whole bunch of noise outside before the cops came,” a neighbor who didn’t want to be named said. “You heard noise in the hallway, but you heard somebody outside yelling, ‘I’ll kill you!’ He was just rambling on the street.”
EMS rushed Webb to St. Barnabas Hospital where she died around 4:12 a.m. At the same time, the man who was stabbed in the leg arrived at the same hospital through private means and was listed in stable condition.
Webb’s loved ones took to social media to share their condolences in wake of the violence.
“MY COUSIN WE USE TO SIT AND TALK FOR HOURS ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT YOU WOULD ALWAYS SAY BIG CUZ I WOULD TELL YOU NAWL U BIG CUZ I LOVE YOU CUZ AND GOING TO MISS U,” one Facebook post said.
Wilson, who has 23 prior arrests, was charged with murder in the second degree, two counts of attempted murder, manslaughter, criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.
