A 26-year-old woman and 6-year-old girl were found dead with stab wounds Saturday night after police responded to a wellness check in the Bronx, the NYPD said Sunday.
The officers were responding to the wellness check call at the victims' dwelling at 4024 Monticello Ave. in Edenwald around 11:56 p.m. on Saturday night when the victims, Gabrielle Muniz, 26, and Rozara Estevez, 6, were found unconscious and unresponsive with stab wounds to their bodies, police said.
