Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx man has been
indicted for Murder and additional charges in the fatal stabbing of a man inside a bodega in the
Longwood area of the Bronx.
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant allegedly stabbed the victim inside a bodega
owned by the defendant’s father. The victim lived in the neighborhood and had previously been
in the store. This was a senseless act of violence.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Ronny Torres, 26, of the Bronx, was arraigned
today on second-degree Murder, first-degree Manslaughter and fourth-degree Criminal
Possession of a Weapon before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Margaret Clancy. The defendant
was remanded and is due back in court on January 21, 2020.
According to the investigation, on October 24, 2019, inside a bodega located at 950
Longwood Avenue, the defendant stabbed Frankie Williams, 37, multiple times in the stomach
and chest with a sharp object. The incident was captured on video surveillance. The victim was
taken to Lincoln Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Darrin
Smalls of the 41
st Precinct and NYPD Detective Patrick Sullivan of the Bronx Homicide Squad
for their assistance in the investigation.
An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt.
