New York City police are investigating the murder of a 37-year-old Mount Vernon woman who was slashed in the neck in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx last weekend.
Ashley Smith was unresponsive when officers from the 47th Precinct arrived on Oakley Street just after 6 a.m. Saturday following a 911 call about a woman who had been assaulted, police said.
She was pronounced dead a short time later at Jacobi Medical Center.
The New York Post reported that the killing occurred during a fight outside a house where a party had just broken out and that a knife and a broken liquor bottle were found at the scene, citing police and a resident of the house. Smith’s involvement in the battle was not clear.
No arrests had been made as of Sunday evening.
