A Brooklyn woman has been taken into custody following the deadly stabbing of a Bronx man in Brownsville, according to police. Investigators say the incident happened Wednesday evening inside an apartment building at 181 Rockaway Parkway.

Authorities identified the victim as 47-year-old Kenneth Brewer. Police allege that 48-year-old Aiesha Walker attacked Brewer inside the residence where she lives. Officers initially reported they were searching for an additional suspect, but Walker was arrested Thursday shortly after 5 p.m.

Walker has been charged with manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon, law enforcement officials confirmed.

Police officers responding to the scene found Brewer shortly before 8 p.m. suffering from a stab wound to his chest. Emergency medical crews transported him to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale Hospital Medical Center in critical condition. Despite medical efforts, Brewer later died from his injuries.
