Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx woman was indicted on second-degree murder and related charges for allegedly stabbing<\/a> her boyfriend, Ramon Vasquez, 35, to death on Webster Avenue in Norwood in March. Read our initial story on the stabbing here.<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Clark said that defendant Dulce Dayana Hernandez Jimenez, 28, of Perry Avenue, The Bronx, was arraigned on May 12, on second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Audrey Stone. She said she was retained in custody and is due back in court in July.<\/p>\n \u201cAn argument between a couple escalated with deadly consequences,\u201d the district attorney said. \u201cThe defendant is accused of stabbing her boyfriend multiple times, causing his death. We will get justice for this victim\u2019s family.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n According to the investigation, on the afternoon of March 28, Hernandez Jimenez and her boyfriend, Vasquez, argued in front of 3210 Webster Avenue.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Hernandez Jimenez allegedly slapped Vasquez and they dispersed. Around 9:45 p.m., she allegedly returned to the same location and another argument ensued.<\/p>\n The court heard that she allegedly took out a butterfly knife and stabbed Vasquez multiple times, including once in the chest. Vasquez was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital where he died.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As reported<\/a>, a dead Pitbull was later found in a trash bag at the site of the stabbing on April 13, a few weeks after it happened on March 28. Police were seen investigating the discovery the same day. Norwood News asked the NYPD if the discovery of the dog had anything to do with the crime. The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The latest major crime statistics for the 52nd Precinct, where the murder took place, are attached.<\/p>\n The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Megan Leo, of the Domestic Violence Bureau, under the supervision of Simon Folkard and Jena Rizzo, deputy chiefs of the Domestic Violence Bureau, Agata Digiovanni, chief of the Domestic Violence Bureau, and under the overall supervision of Adrienne Giunta, deputy chief of Special Victims Division and Joe Muroff, chief of Special Victims Division.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Clark thanked Assistant District Attorney Emma Wardle, Intelligence Analyst Alexandra Ragusa, and Emelis Santana of the Crime Victims Assistance Bureau for their assistance with the case.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n She also thanked NYPD Detectives Anthony Caltabiano from the Bronx Homicide Squad, Anthony Taccetta of the 52nd Detective Squad, and Anthony Romero of Bronx Warrants for their work on the investigation.<\/p>\n Hernandez Jimenez is presumed innocent unless and until convicted in a court of law.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Call\u00a0911 to report animal abuse in progress.
