Video After The Jump
The NYPD released the name of the man who was strangled during an alleged dispute over a woman in a Staten Island apartment building.
Police said victim Rafael Ramos, 36, entered the home of Emmanuel Diaz, 32, at 1950 Clove Road Saturday morning at 7:15 a.m. The 2 began fighting, with the older man striking the other in the face with a knife.
Ramos had gone to Diaz’s Grasmere apartment to confront him about a woman they were both romantically involved with. Diaz retaliated & strangled his assailant until the man was unconscious.
Police arrived to find first responders treating the victim, who was pronounced dead. Diaz was found, covered in blood & with a cut on his face, walking out of the apartment, the NYPD said.
He was taken into custody & charged with murder, strangulation, criminal obstruction of breaking & assault.
A neighbor in the building told The Post that Diaz had a reputation for seducing his neighbors.
“He’s Romeo. He would listen to their problems & they would tell him & next thing you know….” Taino Escobar, 38, told The Post.
Escobar claimed he too had confronted Diaz last year because Diaz had once been intimate with his own significant other.
“I lit his a– up, back slapped him so hard his nose was bleeding,” the neighbor said.
