A man has been charged with second-degree murder and burglary in the stabbing death of a woman in her Manhattan apartment, police said Sunday.
Alexander Felix, 34, of Brooklyn, was arrested at a hospital where he was being treated for a cut to his hand, police said.
Eloise Liz, 48, was stabbed as many as 10 times in her home on 153th Street in Hamilton Heights, police said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said there was no known relationship between Felix and Liz.
A neighbor heard a loud argument and called 911 at about 3:50 a.m. Saturday, police said.
"I have to come in and out this building every day," neighbor Randy Romero said. "I have to go to work and to know that a stranger can just come in the building and just murder somebody that lives on my floor that I used to see on a regular basis, say hello to, have conversations with — its the scariest thing in the world."
