Bronx detectives are looking for the suspect behind a horrific double stabbing inside an apartment building on Saturday morning that left a woman dead and a teenager seriously wounded.
The NYPD is now investigating the homicide as a case of domestic violence, sources familiar with the case said Saturday.
Police said the bloodshed occurred inside 956 Sherman Ave. in Concourse at about 6:40 a.m. on Feb. 28.
Officers from the 44th Precinct rushed to the location after receiving a 911 call about an assault.
When they arrived, police sources said, cops found 42-year-old Yesenia Hall, who lived at the location, stabbed multiple times about her body, and a 16-year-old boy stabbed in the neck and back. The two victims appear to be related, sources said.
Based on a preliminary investigation, police believe the suspect was a man who may have been in a relationship with Hall. The man was seen fleeing the location while wearing a brightly-colored construction vest before police arrived, sources familiar with the case said.
EMS rushed both victims to Lincoln Hospital, where the Hall was pronounced dead. Police have not yet released her identity, pending family notification.
The 16-year-old boy, meanwhile, is listed in stable condition at Lincoln Hospital.
So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said.
