According to police, Lewis Gordon has no prior arrests.
A 45-year-old Brooklyn man has been charged with murder after he allegedly stabbed his ex-wife to death during a fight on Sunday, Dec. 23.
While police haven’t confirmed a motive, the couple’s teen child told the New York Daily News that Lewis Gordon attacked Antoinette-Steward-Gordon after seeing a hickey on her neck.
According to a DCI Spokesperson for the New York Police Department, police responded to a 911 call just before 10 p.m. on 900-black of East 81 Street for a reported stabbing.
Officers found a 47-year-old woman with stab wounds to her neck and abdomen. In addition, the couple’s 15-year-old son had his hand slashed after reportedly trying to defend his mother, according to the New York Post.
A DCI spokesperson told BLACK ENTERPRISE that EMS transported both victims to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where the woman died. The 15-year-old does not have life-threatening injuries.
Gordon was arrested the next day and charged with second-degree murder, endangering the welfare of a child, and criminal possession of a weapon that he used in the stabbing.
