Defendant Pleaded Guilty to Attempted Murder
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison after pleading guilty to Attempted Murder in the second degree for stabbing his fiancé multiple times, leading to the death of their unborn child.
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant viciously attacked a woman who was 26 weeks pregnant, while she pleaded for her life and that of her unborn baby. He kept her from medical attention for a half hour. This mother courageously tricked the defendant by pretending to be dead and then seeking help. The defendant faces many years in prison for the butchering of this young woman, which lead to the death of her unborn child.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Oscar Alvarez, 34, of 1027 Walton Avenue, was sentenced today to 14 years in prison and five years post-release supervision by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Marsha Michael. The defendant pleaded guilty to Attempted Murder in the seconddegree on March 15, 2022.
According to the investigation, on May 21, 2018 at approximately 11:30 p.m. inside of 1027 Walton Avenue, an apartment that Alvarez shared with his fiancé Livia Abreu, the defendant stabbed Abreu six timesin the torso and chest. Abreu was held hostage for approximately 30 minutes after the attack. To save her and her baby’s life, she closed her eyes and pretended to be dead. The defendant left, and Abreu was able to crawl to her neighbor’s apartment to call for help. Their unborn child died, and Abreu was hospitalized with injuries for about two weeks.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Michael Diskin, as well as NYPD Police Officers Jeuri Paulino, Louis Dilonardo and James Talbert of the 44th Precinct for their assistance in the investigation.
