NYC Mom Fatally Stabbed While In Brawl With 20 Women

“The mother went outside in defense of her daughter,” a police source told the Daily News. “One person approached and stabbed her.”

Friends of Roundtree’s daughter had come into the building to summon Roundtree’s older daughter. The sister and their mother intervened, with Roundtree losing her life in the process.

“When I see the sister fighting I said, ‘Let me go downstairs’ because I know those kids. There were a lot of people fighting,” the neighbor added.

By the time the neighbor got downstairs, Roundtree was already injured on the ground.

“The police took her,” she said. “When they carried her, I saw she had a lot of blood. I heard her say, ‘I can’t breathe!’ That’s the only thing she said.”

Medics transported Roundtree to Richmond University Medical Center, but she succumbed to her injuries. Authorities confirmed that the knife used in the fatal attack was recovered at the scene.

Roundtree’s friends remember her as someone who was always smiling and deeply committed to helping local children stay off the streets.

“This neighborhood was important to her because she wanted different for all the kids coming up,” her friend said. “And she was trying to make a difference, and she was.”
