Teller Ave. near E. 171st St.<\/a> about 10:20 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\nThe victim, identified by friends as Thalia Woods, and the suspect lived in separate apartments but were close friends, neighbors said. They were outside the building drinking together all day at a barbecue before the night turned sour, neighbors said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were best friends,\u201d said a 34-year-old resident of the building, who only gave her first name, Shannel. \u201cWe were all drinking. I tried to stop the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
The women were sitting on Bullock\u2019s car talking and then arguing, witnesses said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what they were fighting for,\u201d Shannel said. \u201cI got them to calm down and then once Thalia punched her in her face, the girl (Bullock) went in her car, got a knife \u2026 I tried to stop it but she kept swinging the knife all crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The victim told Shannel to call for an ambulance, the neighbor said.<\/p>\n
Cops arrested Bullock for murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon. Her arraignment was pending in Bronx Criminal Court Monday.<\/p>\n
Investigators loaded Bullock\u2019s car onto an NYPD truck and hauled it away Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Woods was just a few weeks from graduating nursing school, an unnamed family member said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no forgiveness because it was senseless. We were all friends. She has to do her time,\u201d Shannel said. \u201cI feel bad for Woods. It was stupid and senseless and it happened right in front of my face. I\u2019ll never be the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another neighbor said both women had lived in the building for about four years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey both were good women. They just, when you drink and there\u2019s so much emotions going on,\u201d the neighbor said, trailing off.<\/p>\n
Bullock was free without bail at the time of the stabbing after her arrest on May 24 in a misdemeanor domestic violence case on charges she attacked the father of her child inside her apartment.<\/p>\n
Bullock punched the 30-year-old man, Mahamudu Tunkara, in the face, and choked him with her hands, while Tunkara punched Bullock as well, splitting her lip, according to a pair of criminal complaints.<\/p>\n
Both were arrested on charges of assault and harassment, while Bullock was also charged with criminal obstruction of breathing.<\/p>\n
A relative of Woods who declined to give her name said they considered the suspect like family.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re still friends with the person that did it. That\u2019s like my niece,\u201d the relative of the victim said. \u201cIt\u2019s a complicated situation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Bronx woman stabbed and slashed one of her best friends to death during a boozy fight outside…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[7352,128,110307,9,24,63,110308,110306,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-288540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-apartment-building","tag-bronx","tag-lexus-bullock","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-shannel","tag-thalia-woods","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288540","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=288540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
