A man has been arrested for brutally stabbing a 14-year-old Bronx girl, police said.
Cops were called to a home on East 153rd St. in the Melrose section late Thursday, where they found Emonee Williams stabbed multiple times inside a second-floor apartment she shared with her mother and three siblings.
Williams was taken to Lincoln Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.
A 35-year-old man, who police sources identified as Christopher Ezell, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
There were three other kids in the home at the time — 2-year-old twins and a 9-year-old — all of whom were not injured.
Ezell, who is believed to be the ex-boyfriend of Williams’ mother, came to the house Thursday night in a bid to get back together with the woman.
Cops said that’s when a fight ensued and the teen confronted Ezell.
Police said Ezell took a kitchen knife and stabbed Williams in the living room.
Cops said there were two previous reports of domestic violence at the same address involving Ezell.
Virginia Vigo, 19, a neighbor, said Ezell “never got along” with the teen.
“That’s no reason to take her out the way he did,” she said.
Emonee’s mother gives cops a description of Ezell, who is caught on Third Avenue and 141st Street. The 9-year-old daughter, named Jasmine, fingers him in the line up as the killer.
Cops said Ezell is homeless and was currently living at a city shelter on Wards Island. He has four prior arrests for weapons, drug possession, robbery and assault.
