Yesterday morning, a 43-year-old man was found stabbed to death on Beachwood Avenue in the New Brighton section of Staten Island and now police know why: Apparently James Braddox told girlfriend Yolanda McNeil-Moody—with whom he has two teenage children— that he got another woman pregnant. The Staten Island Advance reports that Braddox and McNeil-Moody got into an argument: "He then went to his car, where he sat with his teenage son, Jamani to explain the situation to him...That's when, investigators believe, Ms. McNeil-Moody came outside and either thrust or threw the knife at Braddox, piercing his chest, the source said." Braddox tried to drive to the hospital but crashed into a tree a block away; the knife was found across the street from their home. McNeil-Moody was charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon—murder or manslaughter charges are pending the ME's report.
