Police identified the Brooklyn victims as Olga Bracero and Kayla Wilson after officers found both women dead inside a Park Slope building.
NEW YORK CITY, NY — Two women were found stabbed to death Saturday night inside a Park Slope apartment building, and two teenage boys were wounded Sunday in a separate stabbing during an attempted robbery in the Bronx, police said.
The deaths in Brooklyn and the attack in the Bronx came during a violent weekend across the city, with investigators handling the cases as separate incidents. Police identified the Brooklyn victims as Olga Bracero, 58, and Kayla Wilson, 23. No arrests had been announced in either case as of Monday.
Officers responded around 8 p.m. Saturday to a 911 call reporting an assaulted woman inside 386 2nd St. in Park Slope. Police found Bracero unconscious and unresponsive with multiple stab wounds. Emergency medical workers pronounced her dead at the scene. During a search of the same residence, officers found Wilson, also unconscious and unresponsive, with multiple stab wounds. She also was pronounced dead at the scene. Neighbors told reporters the women were mother and daughter. One neighbor, Fred Fassberger, said the block is usually quiet and that the deaths shocked residents who remembered another deadly case in the same building.
Police have not publicly released a final account of what led to the deaths. Law enforcement sources told local outlets that investigators were looking at the case as a possible murder-suicide involving a mother and daughter after an argument inside the apartment. The medical examiner’s office is expected to determine the official causes and manners of death. Police said the investigation remained active, and officials had not announced charges. The building, a brownstone on a tree-lined block near the center of Park Slope, drew police, emergency workers and crime scene investigators after the 911 call.
The address had already been tied to another violent death investigation. In January 2024, residents Jason Jackson and Olga Kirshenbaum were found dead in the same building in a case police also described at the time as a murder-suicide. That earlier case involved a firearm and led neighbors to hold meetings and speak publicly about safety concerns in the building. Saturday’s deaths brought renewed attention to the property and to the emotional strain on residents who have now seen two deadly incidents there in less than three years.
In the Bronx, two teenage boys, ages 14 and 15, were stabbed Sunday evening during what police described as an attempted robbery. The attack happened around 6:15 p.m. near East 176th Street and Park Avenue in the West Bronx. Both boys were stabbed in the leg and taken to a hospital in stable condition. Police said no arrests had been made. Investigators were still working to identify the attackers and determine the full sequence of events before the stabbing.
The Bronx case was not connected to the Brooklyn deaths, according to the information released by police. The two incidents, however, added to a series of recent stabbing investigations across the city involving victims in homes, on streets and in public transit spaces. In each case, detectives were sorting witness accounts, emergency calls, medical records and any available surveillance footage. Officials had not released suspect descriptions in the Bronx robbery attempt by Monday morning.
Residents near the Park Slope building described a heavy police response after the women were found. Crime scene tape and emergency vehicles marked the normally calm residential block, where brownstones sit close to shops, schools and Prospect Park. Neighbors said Bracero and Wilson were known in the building, but police had not confirmed the nature of their relationship beyond the identifications. “It’s just terrible,” one nearby resident told reporters, describing the deaths as difficult for the block to absorb after the earlier fatal case.
As of Monday, the Brooklyn investigation remained open, with the medical examiner expected to issue formal findings. In the Bronx, detectives continued searching for suspects in the attempted robbery and stabbing of the two teens.
