Bronx man arrested, charged with murder in fatal stabbing of 14-year-old: sources
A Bronx man was charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of a 14-year-old boy, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Waldo Mejia was in custody and is also facing manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon charges, the sources said.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch has called for a Saturday afternoon news conference in relation to the case.
Mejia, 29, has at least four prior criminal cases, including one from November in which he allegedly used a kitchen knife to stab a neighbor’s doorbell camera, the sources said.
Mejia is also believed to be responsible for a Jan. 5 stabbing in the East 138th Street subway station, in which a man, 38, was cut in the arm, the sources added.
