Defendant Stabbed Mother of His Child 17 Times in Front of Young Kids
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx man has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison after being convicted by a jury of the brutal murder of his ex-partner in front of his two sons aged two and five years old.
District Attorney Clark said, “This defendant committed an especially horrific crime. The victim, a 23-year-old mother, had left him a few weeks before because she had suffered years of emotional and physical abuse at his hands. He stabbed her 17 times in front of their children. They lost their mother and have endured untold trauma. Now he has been held accountable.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Shaheene Ahmad, 38, of the Bronx, was sentenced on June 16, 2026, to 25 years to life in prison by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Audrey Stone. He was convicted by a jury of second-degree Murder and two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
According to the investigation, on September 14, 2023, the defendant killed Zariuah Hayes, 23, at the end of a birthday celebration for their 2-year-old boy. He stabbed her 17 times in front of the toddler and his own son, the 5-year-old. Sixteen of her wounds were to her face and neck.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Faton Alikaj from Bronx Homicide and NYPD Detective Alfonso Larue of the 49th Precinct for their work in the investigation, and Police Officers Dominick Huegas, Jean Martinez, David Carlo and Juan Olivera, and Sergeant Michael Hines of the 49th Precinct who responded to the incident and rescued the children.
