A man was arrested Friday for stabbing his 85-year-old grandmother to death<\/a> inside her Brooklyn apartment, cops said.<\/p>\n

Jackson King, 22, was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon for the fatal stabbing of Julia Boomer, cops said. He is expected to be arraigned in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Boomer was stabbed multiple times in her head, neck and upper body inside her Throop Ave. home near Decatur St. in Bedford-Stuyvesant around 9:55 p.m. Tuesday, cops said. The victim\u2019s daughter witnessed the brutal attack, sources said.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed Boomer, a retired church-going postal worker, to Kings County Hospital<\/a>,\u00a0where she later died.<\/p>\n

The grandson fled the apartment before cops arrived, only to be taken into custody after returning to the scene, sources said. He was then admitted to a local hospital to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, according to sources.<\/p>\n

The victim and King shared the same address, cops said.<\/p>\n

Police said King was arrested three times last year, his girlfriend \u2014 the mother of his infant child \u2014 being the victim in each case.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a big problem with his girlfriend,\u201d a neighbor, who lives in the same building as the victim and her son, told the Daily News. \u201cThey would fight outside. He dropped her clothes out on the street. The police were here at least a few times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prosecutors charged him with grand larceny and criminal mischief for spitting in his girlfriend\u2019s face and destroying her cellphone during a fight in Boomer\u2019s apartment on July 3, according to court papers.<\/p>\n

After his arrest, a judge granted an order of protection for the girlfriend, forbidding King from having any contact with his child\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, King was charged with petty larceny and violating the order of protection after his girlfriend learned he had allegedly transferred $320 from her account without her permission.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 27, cops arrested King inside his grandmother\u2019s apartment for again violating the order of protection. In that case, he was accused of spitting on both his girlfriend and her baby daughter during an argument.<\/p>\n

None of the charges he faced were bail-eligible, officials said.\u00a0 During each arraignment, Brooklyn prosecutors had asked a judge to put the grandson on supervised release, where he would be enrolled in a program to ensure he would return to court, but the judge released him without those conditions, court records show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI seen the police came and I opened the door for them,\u201d said landlord Ali Mohamed. \u201cI am Muslim. My religion say that to kill somebody, it\u2019s the worst thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel very bad,\u201d he added. \u201cEspecially an old woman, 85 years old. Family should protect old women, protect old men.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police sources said the grandson had been upset in recent days about a contentious custody battle over his infant daughter. Earlier this week, he was in court to attend a custody hearing, which didn\u2019t go well for him, a police source said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is not the (man) I know,\u201d Boomer\u2019s 59-year-old ex-son-in-law, who wished not to be named, said of the grandson.\u201d(He\u2019s a) very nice kid. It is beyond me to find out what was going on there, I cannot say. Maybe drugs have something to do with it. I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was arrested Friday for stabbing his 85-year-old grandmother to death inside her Brooklyn apartment, cops said.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,12,63,261,265],"class_list":{"0":"post-103076","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-city","12":"tag-county","13":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","14":"tag-latest-headlines","15":"tag-local-news","16":"tag-new-york","17":"tag-new-york-city","18":"tag-new-york-county","19":"tag-news","20":"tag-nyc","21":"tag-nyc-crime","22":"tag-sub-county-region"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
