NYPD Arrests Slain Woman's MySpace Friend
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
Police say they have arrested a man suspected of stabbing his MySpace friend to death after she refused to meet him in person.
Police say 23-year-old Nimzay Aponte was killed in a Bronx park Tuesday as she sat with a friend. She told police before she died that "Mike" did it, referring to a person she met on MySpace. Police say the friend wanted to meet her in person but she refused, and he tracked her down and stabbed her. Her 25-year-old male companion was also stabbed in the arm and was in stable condition.
Police say 35-year-old Dennis Raymond was arrested on charges of second-degree murder and that he was known as "Mike" on the site. No one answered the phone at the address provided by police.
