Teen girl, 15, charged in fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Emery Mizell in the Bronx

A 15-year-old girl was arrested for fatally stabbing Emery Mizell, 17, in the courtyard of a Bronx building, police announced Friday.

The teen suspect, whose name is being withheld by police due to her age, was charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon for the killing of Mizell Thursday afternoon, cops said.

A 911 call led officers to discover Mizell suffering from a stab wound to her chest inside the courtyard of a Boynton Ave. residential building near Watson Ave. in Soundview around 2:15 p.m., according to law enforcement.

Medics rushed Mizell to Jacobi Medical Center, where she died.

The superintendent of the building where Emery was found bleeding to death identified her attacker as a resident of the building.

“[The attacker] came out of the building, and the other girl came from outside,” said super Armando De La Cruz told the Daily News on Thursday. “They started fighting, and one of them pulled a knife and stabbed the other.”

Emery was seen surrounded by a group of 10 kids moments before the fatal wound was inflicted. The teen mob fled into the building, leaving the victim to bleed to death, according to one neighbor.

“I thought they were playing.” said witness Jerry White, 61. “They were just kids. Then people were running back and forth getting tissues to stop the bleeding.”

Emery attended a school housed in the nearby James Monroe High School and was set to graduate in June, according to her grieving father.

“She was a beautiful child, just a beautiful child,” Tony Mizell said of his daughter.
