BRONX, N.Y. — A 16-year-old girl was fatally stabbed Tuesday afternoon inside a Boston Road apartment building, and a 17-year-old girl has been arrested and charged in connection with the killing, police said.

Officers from the 47th Precinct responded to a 911 call at approximately 3:56 p.m. reporting a female stabbed at 3511 Boston Road. Upon arrival, they found the victim with multiple stab wounds to her head and body.

EMS transported the girl in critical condition to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, where she was later pronounced dead. She was identified as 16-year-old Aliyah Williams.

A 17-year-old female suspect was taken into custody and later charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon. Her name was not released due to her age.

The investigation into the motive and events leading up to the stabbing remains ongoing.
