Woman, 48, Fatally Stabbed at Brooklyn YWCA

The victim, who lived at the Brooklyn YWCA, was killed by another resident of the complex

A woman living in a Brooklyn YWCA was fatally stabbed by another resident Saturday morning, according to police and the nonprofit organization.

Liza Millet, 48, was repeatedly stabbed in her back and torso at about 7 a.m. inside the Boerum Hill complex, police said. She was taken to New York Methodist Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Dorothy Curry, 56, who police described as emotionally disturbed, barricaded herself in a room before being taken into custody. She was taken to Kings County Hospital to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

Later in the day, Curry was charged with second-degree murder and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Authorities recovered a kitchen knife at the scene, according to police.

YWCA USA said in an emailed statement the organization is "deeply saddened by the tragic and unexpected loss of life."

"We express our condolences to the family and friends of the victim, and we will work with YWCA Brooklyn as it offers support and counseling services to its residents," the statement added.

The Brooklyn YWCA offers housing to 285 low-income and homeless women, according to the organization's website.

"Since our founding in 1888, the organization has never experienced a violent event within its community of residents," the statement continued.

Neither Millet nor Curry had a history of violence, YWCA administrators said.
