A 54-year-old man has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of a woman inside a building in Flushing, Queens, last week, police said Monday.
The NYPD identified the man as Zhordrack Blodywon, 54, who police said is homeless. He was arrested Monday evening and charged with murder, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon. His attorney information was not immediately available.
Police said officers responding to a 911 call around 4:30 p.m. Friday found an unidentified woman unconscious and unresponsive inside a building at 3617 164th St. The woman had multiple stab wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical workers, according to police.
The city's Office of Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide, police said.
Authorities have not released the woman's identity or age. Police have also not disclosed what led to the stabbing or whether Blodywon knew the victim.
Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing.
