Boyfriend charged with deadly ax attack in Brooklyn that left pregnant woman decapitated and friend injured

NYPD have arrested 33-year-old Jerry Brown and have charged him with murder, attempted murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

 

 

Savannah Rivera was visiting her friend 21-year-old Angela Valle at the Busickwick houses in Brooklyn, when Brown allegedly took an ax to her, killing her Saturday morning. He decapitated her, even cutting her fingers off. She was three months pregnant according to her family and left behind a 4-year-old son.

Her 21-year-old friend was trying to catch an Uber ride at 1:30 a.m. to the hospital, but after the driver saw that she had lacerations to her head and blood all over, he called 911. When police arrived, she told her friend was upstairs along with her own daughter, who was unharmed before she went unconscious.

The ax that was used to attack both women was found inside a trash compactor. Brown had purchased it the day before for $38.00 and had even asked the store to sharpen it. He lived in the same housing projects as Rivera’s friend.

Brown was dating Valle, and was known “Mr. 187” and “The Grim Reaper” on social media. The motive is still unclear. Brown is said to suffer from mental illness and currently being held at a psych ward.
