A Richmond Hill man has been indicted for fatally stabbing a Bronx woman in her Highbridge apartment while her three young children were present, Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced.
Lamont Wilson, 46, of 101st St., was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon in connection to the brutal attack on 38-year-old Britney Webb. He was arraigned before Bronx Supreme Court Justice George Villegas and was remanded. His next court appearance is scheduled for May 13, 2025.
“The defendant, who was a friend of the victim, allegedly attacked her during a dispute, stabbing her multiple times with her three young children in the apartment,” Clark said in a statement. “This was a brutal crime for which the defendant now faces justice.”
According to the investigation, the fatal incident occurred on Dec. 6, 2024, at approximately 3:30 a.m. at Webb’s residence at 1479 Macombs Rd. Wilson allegedly got into an argument with Webb, prompting her to lock herself and her 5-year-old daughter in a bedroom while her other children remained asleep in another room. Wilson then forced his way into the bedroom and allegedly stabbed Webb 15 times before fleeing the scene.
Authorities arrested Wilson in a nearby building shortly after the attack.
The case remains under investigation.
