Police have arrested a St. Nicholas Avenue teen they believe stabbed a Bronx man to death near the corner of W. 181st Street and St. Nicholas Avenue in the early hours of Sun., June 20.
Police believe Andy Henriquez, 16, murdered Mohamed Jalloh, 18, from Nelson Avenue in the Bronx. Jalloh was stabbed numerous times at 1:26 a.m. near 564 W. 181st St. and was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
