A Bronx man was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a 47-year-old woman inside her Harlem home in December \u2014 months after she told police he was going to kill her, according to police officials and records.<\/p>\n
Eliud Garcia, 50, was taken into custody by the NYPD’s warrant squad and charged with murder, assault, criminal use of a firearm and unlawful possession of a weapon Wednesday, according to police. He has not yet been arraigned and is expected to appear in court Thursday. It was unclear if he had an attorney.<\/p>\n
Basilisa Negron, 47, was found inside her home on West 141st Street on Dec. 23, 2025 with multiple gunshot wounds, and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n
Her son, Richie Negron, 28, said he was relieved Garcia had finally been arrested, but said Garcia should have already been in jail. Weeks before her murder, Richie Negron said, his mother filed a domestic violence report with police against Garcia after she was beaten, but he was never arrested.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like they failed her,\u201d Richie Negron said. \u201cHow is it that he could just hit my mom and not even get locked up?\u201d<\/p>\n
He said his mother had seven children, including two younger kids with the man who was arrested. \u201cWe have to figure it out as brothers and sisters,\u201d he said. \u200a<\/p>\n
Richie Negron described his mother as a kind and giving woman. \u201cShe would feed the block,\u201d he said, adding that she was the sort of mother who went without to make sure her children had everything they needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery chance she got, every moment she took, every breath that she inhaled, everything was about her kids,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything was about us. Everything, everything, everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Basilisa Negron’s daughter, Anarosa Negron, said her sister found their mom\u2019s body on the floor after stepping out to the store for just five minutes. But Basilisa Negron\u2019s children had been afraid for her for months.<\/p>\n
On Oct. 27, 2025, Basilisa Negron filed a domestic incident report accusing Garcia of attacking her, according to a copy of the report provided to Gothamist by her son. Richie Negron described his mother’s bruises and two black eyes after the domestic violence incident.<\/p>\n
“My husband beat me because I did not want to have sex,” she wrote. “He said he was going to kill me if I’m with someone else.”<\/p>\n
An NYPD spokesperson said officers took the initial report, investigated the crime, searched for the perpetrator, and referred the victim to domestic violence services. Garcia was never arrested on the October complaint.<\/p>\n
Police did not address the accusations of failure leveled by Basilisa Negron\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
Anarosa Negron said two domestic violence detectives visited her mother days after the October assault but never followed up, despite her mother’s repeated attempts to reach them.<\/p>\n
“She kept contacting the detective, telling him, texting him, calling him,\u201d Anarosa Negron said. \u201cHe never responded back to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anarosa Negron said Garcia continued to harass and threaten her mother after the assault, calling from different numbers and telling the couple’s children he was going to kill Basilisa Negron.<\/p>\n
“He tried to rape her and she didn’t let him. So he ended up beating on her,” Anarosa Negron said of the October incident.<\/p>\n
Richie Negron said the family wants accountability from the NYPD.<\/p>\n
“I just want people to know what has happened,\u201d he said. “I just want the police to pay more mind to stuff like this, because obviously they didn’t care.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Bronx man was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a 47-year-old woman…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176131,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,56,63,65,64],"class_list":{"0":"post-176130","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-ny","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-nyc-headlines","12":"tag-nyc-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176130","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=176130"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176130\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
