A woman was arrested and charged with murder for allegedly
stabbing her neighbor to death outside the Seaview Plaza shopping center in Canarsie, police say.
Belinda Munford, 53, is accused of killing 34-year-old Isaiah Freeman just after 8 p.m. on May 27 near Seaview Avenue and Rockaway Parkway, about a block from their homes at the NYCHA Bay View Houses.
News 12 obtained
exclusive surveillance of the moments leading up to the fatal attack, which shows a fight breaking out between the duo. The attacker is seen swinging toward Freeman's chest. He collapses onto the pavement moments later.
The NYPD says paramedics rushed Freeman to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he died.
Officers took Munford into custody on Friday. She faces additional charges, including manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
