A relentless social media bullying campaign against a teenage girl in the Bronx ended in horror — when an alleged rival stabbed her to death on a street in broad daylight, cops and law enforcement sources said.
Emery Mizell, 17, was knifed in the chest around 2:15 p.m. Thursday on Boynton Avenue near Watson Avenue in the Soundview neighborhood, police said.
Mizell — who lived a few blocks from the attack — was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, where she died, authorities said.
Three people were initially taken into custody – including the 15 year-old, who was ultimately charged with murder, manslaughter and unlawful possession of a weapon, cops said.
The arrested teen’s name was not released because she is a minor.
Mizell and her alleged killer were involved in an ongoing dispute, police said.
The victim had been bombarded with harassment on social media prior to the slaying, the sources said.
The other two initially in custody – described as “minors” – were not charged, police said.
A woman who said she was Emery’s relative shared a heartbreaking post with several photos of the slain girl on Facebook Friday morning.
“Emmy, I love you so much baby. We’re all gonna miss you,” she wrote.
“You were a beautiful soul with so much life ahead of you, I know you are in the best of hands now. I’d do anything for the chance to hug you and tell you I love you again. Sleep in peace our sweet angel.”
The violence came about two months after Laquai Dash, 17, also of the Bronx, was fatally shot when he got wrapped up in a social media spat between his girlfriend and another female, police and the young victim’s family said at the time.
Dash, a young football player who was looking forward to traveling to Spain on a senior class trip, was shot by the other girl’s boyfriend, according to his family.
