A tattooed woman has been arrested for murder in the stabbing of a 34-year-old man during a Brooklyn street clash,<\/a> police said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Belinda Munford, 53, turned herself in after a grand jury indicted her on murder, manslaughter, and weapon possession charges for the May 27 slay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An arrest warrant had been issued for her arrest when she surrendered to cops at the 69th Precinct stationhouse in Canarsie last Friday, cops said.<\/p>\n

Munford lives in the Bayview Houses, near the corner of Seaview Ave. and Rockaway Parkway where Isaiah Freeman was stabbed in the chest during an 8:10 p.m. argument.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed Freeman to Brookdale University Hospital<\/a>\u00a0but he could not be saved.<\/p>\n

Detectives later recovered surveillance footage of a tattooed woman in a white top and pink slides, later identified as Munford, stabbing Freeman in the chest.<\/p>\n

Cops released images of Munford in the hopes someone would recognize her.<\/p>\n

She was ordered held on $250,000 bail when she was arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court Friday.<\/p>\n

Cops believe Munford and Freeman knew each other prior to their argument.<\/p>\n

Freeman grew up in the Bay View Houses. He and his accused killer were living in different building in that development at the time of the clash, according to cops.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want him just to be another death that\u2019s just not heard of,\u201d his close friend Tariq Coloier said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry that us dying is the only time people really could hear about us. And that\u2019s really annoying and really weird. But the only thing I really got to say is, cherish the people while they\u2019re here before they\u2019re gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coloier, 30, spoke to the Daily News at a makeshift memorial just steps away from where Freeman was stabbed. He described the victim as a \u201cloyal friend\u201d and a talented rapper who performed under the name Zayzito.<\/p>\n

\u201cRapping definitely was his thing,\u201d Coloier said. \u201cHe was a really good rapper, a great person.\u201d<\/p>\n
