Neighbor Says They Ignored Dying Woman's Screams
(who's gonna admit that?)
Neighbors ignored a dying woman's cries for help early Saturday morning in New York City, newspapers report.
Ebony Garcia, 21, was stabbed after midnight at her cousin's apartment in College Point, N.Y.
A neighbor tells the Daily News that she collapsed on the sidewalk and screamed for help from neighbors and passing cars. Newsday says at least three people eventually called police, but it was too little too late.
Garcia died after police found her "lying in a pool of blood," the N.Y. Post reports. "One neighbor said she heard Garcia screaming for 35 minutes but ignored the cries because she thought the victim was drunk," the paper says.
Homicide detectives are hunting for the woman's ex-boyfriend.
I told ya'll about the time two weeks ago when my neighbor across the street's home was "burgularized" during a blackout and how he was giving us the side-eye for not witnessing it.
Now I'll sit in the window and give the police the height, weight, eye color and date of the last communion of anybody if I see them out doing something they're not supposed to. Although, if I heard someone screaming out in bloody horror, I'd probably have to freeze for a minute to figure out just what in the hell I'd do next. All I'm saying is, don't count on me in an emergency. [USA Today]
