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."
