A Bronx woman was arrested for allegedly stabbing an 85-year-old man to death in his Brooklyn home.

Nicole Waiters, 48, was arrested and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon on Jan. 24.

According to police, at 10:09 p.m. on Jan. 23, the NYPD responded to a 911 call regarding an assault in progress inside an apartment at 501 Lefferts Avenue in Crown Heights. Upon their arrival, officers found Edill Gonzalez unconscious and unresponsive, with multiple stab wounds throughout his body.

A knife was recovered at the scene and Waiters was taken into custody shortly afterward.
