Man Fatally Stabs Romantic Rival In Brooklyn

2009_09_handcuffs.jpg Both tabloids detail the "deadly love triangle" where one man killed another over Catalina Hernandez. The Daily News spoke to the 24-year-old (with dramatic photo) reports that "Michael Lebron walked from his shelter to her Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment at 10:30 p.m. Saturday and screamed for her on-again, off-again boyfriend to show himself," yelling, "I ain't no p---y I'm going to kill you; we're going to finish this tonight." And Pedro Marquez, 46, who has a two-month old with Hernandez, yelled back, "Let's see who's going to die tonight!" and emerged from the building with kitchen knife, stabbing Lebron numerous times. Hernandez told the Post that Marquez was disappointing—"We were arguing, and he wasn't working, and I was doing everything alone"—while Lebron, who was 40, "knew how to treat a woman. He wasn't trying to have sex all the time. He just showed me attention emotionally." (But it turns out that Lebron had a fiancee, who visited her yesterday.) Marquez, who was charged with murder, wrote in a note to Hernandez, "Please forgive me. It was not my intention to do this. I've been depressed. I feel sorry for what happened but that's life."

The staged photo in the Daily News is priceless.

Hilarious. Shouldn't the caption read "scolded by her Dad" ?

The Daily News must be using telenovelas for their sources again. Did Hernandez's aging mother run around screaming her disapproval to complete the scene?

can someone compile the "hotblooded latino jealousy killings", "dumb black dude robbers", "smart jew white collar capers" and "chinese delivery guy got killed" and make tags and a counter on gothamist? it seems that's all I read.

You forgot "blogged car/bike interaction", "good for animals/bad for animals", "Hit & run", "DWI" and "another dead celeb-who? overdose". I'm sure I've forgotten a few, but the "street artiste" thing seems to be kinda quiet. Probably out tagging the Hamptons.

You can also add "hit and run driver" and "sex offender/pedophile" under the "latino" heading...

Another "classy woman" She is 24 yrs old; how many fathers do her FIVE children have?! I mean really, I hope they take all of her children away from this piece of trash.
