A knife-wielding woman allegedly stabbed her boyfriend to death inside her upper Manhattan apartment Wednesday morning, cops said.
Kelly Lopez-Roldan, 22, was arrested for killing her beau Antoine Scott, 24, after she put a knife in his chest multiple times in Washington Heights around 2:20 a.m., according to police.
Scott was rushed to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital just three blocks from the scene on W. 164th St. near Amsterdam Ave., but doctors were unable to save him. He died a short time later.
Lopez-Roldan was taken into custody at the scene and questioned at the 33rd Precinct for hours before she was charged with murder, sources said.
The couple had a volatile relationship, including past incidents involving police and claims of domestic violence, a police source said.
They have a child in common but they were separated and living at different addresses, said police, and Lopez-Roldan recently allowed Scott to stay in her home when he claimed he had nowhere else to go.
