HIGHBRIDGE, Bronx (WABC) — Two people are now facing murder charges following what police say was a deadly dispute among neighbors.
One suspect, 24-year-old Beyonce Johnson, lived in the same Ogden Avenue building as the victim.
Police say Johnson and 21-year-old Saleh Ceesay killed 30-year-old Shashamanie Thompson.
Officers responding to a 911 call found Thompson unresponsive with knife wounds to her face and abdomen.
Neighbors say they heard an argument before the killing.
“I heard a lot of yelling, somebody screaming ‘help me,” one neighbor said. “I heard them fighting, I heard her screaming for help, I wasn’t sure what floor it was on. It sounded like it was close but also like downstairs or something.”
There is no word from police on what the argument was about.
