Veo Kelly, 20, was arrested after turning himself in.
Police said Friday that a Brooklyn man surrendered in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 19-year-old woman who was atacked in a Park Slope bodega with her twin.
Veo Kelly, 20, was arrested after turning himself in to police with his attorney, police said. He’s facing murder, assault and weapons charges after being accused of attacking Samyia Spain and her twin sister Sanyia in a Park Slope bodega on Sunday.
His attorney’s information was not immediately available.
Samyia was killed in the encounter. Her sister, Sanyia, who was stabbed in the arm, was also taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and eventually released after being treated for her injuries.
Relatives and workers at the bodega told Gothamist the man became violent after Samyia rejected his advances.
