Argenis Baez, 37, hacked Officer Arianna Reyes-Gomez to death in her Bronx apartment during a domestic dispute in June 2022 and bizarrely claimed in court her police partner was \u201cthe one who told me to kill.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Officer Arianna Reyes-Gomez was a member of the NYPD Transit Bureau at the time she was fatally stabbed by her ex.

Wayne Carrington<\/p>\n Thekiller addressed the court during sentencing, pleading with Reyes-Gomez\u2019s family for forgiveness as he was \u2018going through a difficult time,\u2019 and appeared to shift blame and minimize his actions, according to the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n Baez will spend the next 24 years behind bars and five years supervised release after pleading guilty to first-degree manslaughter in January, according to Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHopefully this sentence will bring some solace to her family, who have turned their pain into purpose by supporting efforts against domestic violence,\u201d District Attorney Clark said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Reyes-Gomez, who was hailed as an \u201cangel on this earth,\u201d had only been with the NYPD since 2019 and shared a young son with her killer.<\/p>\n Her last words during the brawl were \u201cmy son,\u201d as she pleaded with her former-partner not to kill her for the sake of their son, who was not home at the time of the murder, News 12 reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n Prosecutors alleged Baez forced his way into his former partner\u2019s apartment on Grand Concourse near East 156th Street in the early hours of June 13 2022, confronting Reyes-Gomez in a dispute, before stabbing her eight times.<\/a><\/p>\n The off-duty cop managed to call a relative, who called 911 \u2014 and cops were led to Reyes-Gomez\u2019s body \u2018through a trail of blood.\u2019<\/p>\n Baez will spend 24 years behind bars for killing his NYPD ex-wife.
