CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (WABC) — A suspect is under arrest after a 30-year-old mother was stabbed and killed at a barbecue in Brooklyn<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

Shakeema Davis was fatally stabbed at a barbecue she threw at Lincoln Terrace Park on Aug. 18.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, police said 25-year-old Deandre Crearywas charged in her killing.<\/p>\n

He is charged with murder, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a weapon.<\/p>\n

Davis was at the barbecue with her 7-year-old son when the person of interest arrived. As the night wore on, police say he repeatedly hit on her, and she rejected his advances.<\/p>\n

Eventually it became physical between the two and she threw a drink on him, then picked up a barbecue and hit him with it, in a failed attempt to fend him off.<\/p>\n

Police say the man pulled a knife and stabbed Davis multiple times throughout her body and her head.<\/p>\n

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.<\/p>\n
