A woman who fatally stabbed a 38-year-old man,<\/a> then walked away as he bled out on a Brooklyn street, was the victim\u2019s romantic partner, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny revealed Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Terrence Smith and the woman were in the middle of a heated argument in front of a building on Eastern Parkway near Utica Ave. in Crown Heights when the woman plunged a knife into his chest just after 11 p.m. on April 14, according to police and witnesses.<\/p>\n

After Smith fell to the ground, a man waiting for a cab nearby heard him gasp, \u201cyou stabbed me!\u201d before passing out, Kenny said \u2014 but the cold-blooded assailant kept walking.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe walked away like nothing had ever happened, calm as can be, not a care in the world,\u201d Kenny said at a Tuesday press briefing.<\/p>\n

Police have identified the woman, whose name was in Smith\u2019s laptop. \u201cThey did a lot of Facetime that he recorded,\u201d Kenny said.<\/p>\n

After stabbing Smith, the woman walked east on Eastern Parkway\u00a0to the Sutter Ave. subway station and got on a northbound 3 train, according to Kenny. She got off the train and exited the station at W.163rd St. and Amsterdam Ave. in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Police have not released the woman\u2019s name, but Kenny stated she lives in Washington Heights.<\/p>\n

Multiple witnesses saw Smith arguing with the woman<\/a> beforehand. The altercation was also caught on video, Kenny said.<\/p>\n

As the quarrel turned physical, the woman pushed Smith to the ground, witnesses told police. When he got back up, she pulled a knife and stabbed him in the abdomen<\/a>. \u201cThey get close to each other. They\u2019re screaming at each other. The female actually knocks him down to the ground. He gets up to confront her again and she stabs him one time in the chest,\u201d Kenny said.<\/p>\n

The woman has not been caught. At the time of the stabbing, she was dressed in a black sweatsuit and was wearing a multi-colored bonnet, similar to a shower cap, police said.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed Smith to\u00a0Kings County Hospital<\/a>, where he died.<\/p>\n

The victim leaves behind two sons who live with their mother in New Jersey. Smith lived in Brownsville, less than a mile from where he was stabbed, according to cops.<\/p>\n

Word of Smith\u2019s death had shattered his family, especially his father, who can\u2019t believe his son is gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still think it\u2019s a dream,\u201d Smith\u2019s father Terrence Rivers told the Daily News. \u201cI don\u2019t believe it. I just turned 60 March 31st, so this is a hell of a birthday gift for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivers said his son was a very \u201crespectful\u201d person and didn\u2019t know what sparked the fatal fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust tell me why. Tell me what happened,\u201d Rivers pleaded to the stabber, who remained at large Tuesday. \u201cI wish she would have just stayed there with him. Like, \u2018Oh I made a mistake, I shouldn\u2019t have done that.\u2019 Not run, just stayed there with him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman who fatally stabbed a 38-year-old man, then walked away as he bled out on a Brooklyn…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203700,"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-205571","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\/205571","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=205571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
