GRAND CONCOURSE, Bronx (WABC) -- An off-duty NYPD officer was fatally stabbed, allegedly by her estranged husband, in the Bronx early Monday.
Police say the 31-year-old officer, who worked as an NYPD officer assigned to Transit in Brooklyn, was discovered dead with multiple stab wounds around 2:50 a.m.
It happened inside an apartment on Grand Concourse, and authorities say the victim managed to call a relative before she died.
That relative alerted police.
The victim's 34-year-old husband surrendered to a neighboring precinct soon after, and charges against him are pending.
The victim and the suspect have a 3-year-old son, who was not at home at the time of the killing.
The couple was estranged, but there are no prior incidents of police response to a dispute between the two.
Neighbors said they heard arguing in the middle of the night, with the victim's first-floor apartment window facing the busy street.
"It's sad," neighbor Moses Becerril said. "It's a couple, and there was kids involved from what we hear. They're parents. So sad."
Her identity has not yet been released, pending family notification.
"You have to be very careful these days, even with your own spouse," neighbor Elena Matos said.
Neighbors say they just moved in a month or two ago and kept to themselves, and that nothing out of the ordinary stood out.
"I only heard just that, that they were just arguing," neighbor Frank Peralta said. "This was completely out of nowhere for me. Never expected that to pop up."
