A Bronx man was stabbed to death on a street corner by a group of four people Tuesday morning — and the only person cops have collared is a 14-year-old girl, now charged with murder, who allegedly stood across the street during the bloody fight.
Cops found the victim, 35-year-old Jose Valarezo of Wallace Avenue, bleeding out on the sidewalk near East 170th Street and Morris Avenue at about 7 a.m., according to the NYPD.
He’d been stabbed several times in the groin and was neither conscious nor responsive when police arrived.
EMS rushed Valarezo to Bronx Care Health System, where medical staff pronounced him dead, police said.
The group had allegedly chased Valarezo — who cops said was carrying a silver backpack — to the street corner, according to the criminal complaint against the teenage girl.
When they caught up with Valarezo, the girl stayed on one side of the street while the three men she was with walked over and surrounded the victim, the complaint said.
Then they pounced, with one man stabbing Valarezo with a knife “approximately nine to ten times in his left thigh and buttocks, causing his death,” the complaint said.
Another man took Valarezo’s backpack, and the four went back to an unidentified building.
The teenage girl went inside to get new clothes for the three men, who put the garments on before leaving.
The girl has since been charged with two counts of second-degree murder, one count of first-degree manslaughter, five counts of robbery, two counts of larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
She told cops that Valarezo was armed with a handgun and had been trying to steal a motorbike.
She and the other men chased him, and a man who was staying with her did the stabbing.
“We all went back … and I got clothes for the men to put on because they said the police would be after them,” she told cops, according to the complaint.
