NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – A family comprised of a man, woman and her 5-year-old son were found killed in their Bronx apartment building early Sunday morning, according to the NYPD.
At around 6:40 a.m. police responded to a 911 call at 674 East 136th Street in Mott Haven and found a man slumped against a wall in the hallway of the first floor of the apartment building, police said.
The 38-year-old man had deep cuts to his chest and was unresponsive, officials said.
Police investigated further and found a 33-year-old woman and 5-year-old boy who were also unconscious and unresponsive.
EMS responded and pronounced all three dead at the scene, officials said.
Dahan Ali, who owns the deli next door to where the family lived, told 1010 WINS/WCBS 880 that he saw the family every day as the mother took her son to school and the husband bought coffee.
“Her, her husband and her son they was very nice. Was very nice people. They never give us no trouble, they always bring respect. I see them everyday,” Ali said.
Ali said he no longer feels safe working where he does.
The medical examiner will determine the cause of death. There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.
