Cops arrest man in fatal stabbing of woman outside Bronx bar

A man was arrested Tuesday for the fatal stabbing of a 35-year-old woman who was protecting her boyfriend outside a Bronx bar.

Cristian Moya, 28, was charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon for the 4 a.m. Friday stabbing of Pamela Almonte Cabrera multiple times outside Mama Dora Bar & Lounge on East Kingsbridge Road near Morris Ave. in Kingsbridge Heights, cops said.

Moya lived in the Bronx, cops said. His arraignment in Bronx Criminal Court was pending Tuesday night.

According to police, on the night of her death, Cabrera, who lived in Melrose, was with a group of about five people when they clashed with another group on the sidewalk.

Surveillance video shows a commotion among a crowd outside the bar at closing time before Cabrera is seen walking down the block, held upright by another person. She then is seen sitting down on the pavement before collapsing, the video shows.

Cabrera was first taken to BronxCare Health System, then transferred to Lincoln Hospital, where she died, police said.

Her distraught boyfriend, through tears at a memorial outside a nearby barbershop on Briggs Ave., where Cabrera worked, lamented: “I was there. I feel like s–t. I feel bad.”

Cabrera worked as a nail technician in the back of the barbershop, her grieving friends said. She had two sons who live in the Dominican Republic, and her 17-year-old daughter lives in New York City.

”She was happy, very happy,” said Wendy, a 52-year-old friend of Cabrera. “All day, every day, she was happy. We feel very bad because she’s a good person. She has three kids.”
