A graphic footage of the scene in which a man, naked, was fatally attacked outside an apartment building in Brooklyn shows this grisly crime. This is just as the number of violent crimes continues to rise in New York City.
Vitor Bauza (56), was arrested Saturday for murder and criminal possession with a weapon in connection to the grisly murder of Ernest Diaz (41).
The NYPD reports that Diaz, who was found lying at 303 99th Street in Bay Ridge on Friday afternoon, had received multiple stab wounds to his stomach and chest. Shortly after being discovered, Diaz was taken to Lutheran Hospital NYU Langone where he was declared dead.
Diaz was reported to have lived in the same apartment as Bauza. According to the New York Post, a custodian saw Bauza and Diaz in the lobby. There were numerous stab wounds. He was said to have taken the elevator from fifth floor, and then stumbled down.
Bauza who fled from the crime scene at first, later surrendered to cops, according to police.
Vitor Bauza 56 (left), is alleged to have stabbed Ernest Diaz 40 just outside the Bay Ridge Apartment Complex in Brooklyn.
CCTV footage of Diaz shows that a man covered in blood is seen following him back inside the building. After stabbing Diaz, he fled and returned to the scene to continue to attack the victim.
Later on, we see the victim falling to the floor.
Edgar Walker of Brooklyn Supreme Court ordered Bauza be detained without bail, until his December 3rd court appearance.
Arthur Aidala, Bauza’s lawyer, confirmed his knowledge of Diaz “for a very very very long time” and described the grisly murder as an “abnormality” and “so outlandish for him.”
When reached for further comment on Tuesday, Aidala refused to answer DailyMail.com’s questions.
Aidala said that Aidala was a very good person who was involved in an accident that took seconds. It’s not as though he is violent, aggressive, or a violent individual in any shape or form.
Bauza’s family was present in court but refused to discuss the case. They snapped at journalists on their way out.
Bauza’s aunt said, “He is my nephew.” He’s a nice person.
This man had no clothes on him and was suffering multiple stabbing wounds in his chest and stomach.
In broad daylight, Friday in New York City, a man found naked and bleeding in his apartment lobby after he was repeatedly stabbed.
The grim scene, captured by photographers, showed blood smeared all over the doors on the entrance to the building
Prab Singh (31), who owns a nearby liquor store, said that the victim “came out of the apartment building naked.”
Singh stated that he saw the man sitting outside, covered in blood and just reddened all over. One of our clients called 911 to report that he had been injured and was being held back by Singh.
By the time NYPD arrived, blood was everywhere on the doorways of the building.
New York City’s crime rate continues to rise, with violent incidents on the rise.
NYPD data shows that overall crime rates in NYC were up 2.61 per cent as of November 28. However, murders have decreased by 1.2% compared with October 2020.
Comparable to last October, Robbery increased by 3.7% and felony assail rose by 9.1%.
Bill de Blasio (the outgoing Mayor) blamed New York City’s rising crime rates on the courts. While he claimed that there was a slight decline in crime, he ignored an 11. percent increase in total crime since October 2020.
“In this city, there is real change.” There is more work to be done but there are real changes happening. “It’s all about precision policing. It’s also about neighborhood policing. Both of these methods work.
According to NYPD data, overall crime was up 2.61 per cent in NYC as of November 28. However, murders have decreased by 1.2% compared with October 2020.
According to police, he was found in Bay Ridge at The Dorset Apartments, 99th Street, and Third Avenue, Brooklyn, around 2:50 on Friday.
