BRONX MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO STABBING TWO WOMEN, ONE FATALLY, IN SEPARATE INCIDENTS IN BRONX

 

Defendant Pleaded Guilty to Manslaughter and Assault; Will Be Sentenced to 24 ½ Years in Prison

 Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx man has pleaded guilty to first-degree Manslaughter and first-degree Assault for stabbing a woman to death and for wounding another woman in separate incidents in the Bronx within six hours last November. 

 District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant pleaded guilty today to two atrocious crimes. The defendant used a butcher knife to stab a woman on a street, causing serious injuries, and six hours later he wielded that knife to ferociously stab another woman multiple times, causing her death.” 

 District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Baron George, 38, of 3339 Kingsland Avenue, today pleaded guilty to first-degree Manslaughter and first-degree Assault before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Martin Marcus. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 28, 2021 to 24 and a half years in prison and five years post-release supervision for the fatal stabbing, and five years in prison and five years post release supervision for the assault, both sentences to be served concurrently.

 According to the investigation, on November 22, 2020 at approximately 3:40 AM at Bullard Avenue and East 236th Street, the defendant and the victim were in his car when he grabbed the victim’s head and forced it towards his pelvic area. After the victim refused to perform a sexual act on him, the defendant stabbed her multiple times in the back and arm with a butcher knife, causing substantial pain and serious physical injury. 

 According to the investigation, on November 22, 2020 at approximately 9:37 a.m. inside of a motel at 2291 New England Thruway, the defendant stabbed Brizjel Kemp, 38, with a butcher knife multiple times in her body causing her death.

  The defendant fled to New Jersey, where he was arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman in Galloway. The victim in that incident survived. George was arrested on December 5, 2020 for the incidents that occurred in the Bronx.

 District Attorney Clark thanked Detective Sheldon Smith of Bronx Homicide and Detective Mark Moccia of the 47th Precinct for their assistance in the investigation.
