Man Who Shot, Killed Woman on Staten Island Arrested: NYPD
A Staten Island man has been arrested for allegedly shooting and killing a 38-year-old woman inside his home on Thursday, police say.
The woman, whose name hasn’t yet been released, was found dead with a gunshot wound to her head inside a home on South Avenue, near Arlington Place, on Staten Island around 1 a.m., the NYPD said.
Kevin Smith, 40, has been arrested and charged with murder, criminal use of a firearm and criminal possession of a firearm in connection with the woman’s death, police said Saturday.
Smith lives at the home where he allegedly shot the woman, but police didn’t immediately say how the two knew each other. His attorney information wasn't immediately available.
Law enforcement sources with knowledge of the case told News 4 two children — one the woman’s son, the other her stepson — were inside the home when she was killed.
Police didn’t provide details about the woman or say if she lived at the home, but neighbors said a family of four lives there. One neighbor told News 4 a wife, husband and their two sons — 15-year-old and 16-year-old boys — have lived in the home for at least seven years.
No other information was immediately available.
