A 19-year-old Bronx man was stabbed to death by his neighbor over a parking spot, authorities said.
Dominic Cruz Aguilera was inside his Morris Heights home when neighbor Vladimir Lopez German, 45, banged on his door, demanding the teen move his car shortly before 8:30 a.m. Thursday, according to cops and police sources.
Sources said when Aguilera went outside to change spots near Inwood Avenue and Featherbed Lane, an argument erupted, ending with an enraged Lopez German allegedly plunging a knife into his neighbor’s chest.
The wounded teen stumbled to a nearby bodega, where he bled out, according to ABC 7.
“I kept yelling and I said, ‘He’s going to die, he’s going to die,’” bodega worker Wendy Reinoso told the station.
EMS rushed Aguilera to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln, but he could not be saved.
His grieving brother, who ran an auto body shop with him, remembered him as a “beautiful person.”
“The best brother ever. I’m not saying that because he passed away. He always got my back,” he told ABC7.
Lopez German — who reportedly works as an Uber driver — was later caught and charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
He was awaiting arraignment at Bronx Criminal Court on Friday morning.
It was his first arrest and he lived across the street from the victim, police said.
