(August 25, 2008)--Investigators say neighbors of waited more than a half an hour to call police after hearing a woman's screams for help as she was being stabbed to death at a New York City apartment.

Police found Ebony Garcia, 21, lying in a pool of blood at about 2:10 a. m. Saturday.

She had been stabbed about a dozen times and died two hours later at a local hospital.

Witnesses say neighbors ignored the woman's screams for more than 30 minutes before someone finally called the police.

One neighbor said she ignored the cries because she thought the victim had been drinking.

Police want to question Garcia's boyfriend, against whom she had obtained a restraining order.

I agree with TexasLocation. People up north are rude, so them ignoring a woman's bloodcurdling screams for help doesn't surprise me; it saddens me, yes, but doesn't surprise me. And people think about it- do you really think this woman's screams sounded like that of a drunk person? She was stabbed a dozen times. I'm sure she sounded like a person who was in dire need of help and bleeding to death. The neighbor's just want to say she sounded drunk, because they don't want it on their conscience that they completely ignored a woman's cries who was being stabbed to death by her abusive ex-boyfriend. It's sad and disgusting how he abused and then ultimately killed her and how those heartless people ignored her cries. Not to mention, the cars that rode by her. I pray that this never happens to any of their daughter's or them. RIP Ebony Garcia & Nalisha Gravely. You have your wings now, spread them and fly.

Ebony Garcia? Seriously? EBONY GARCIA? I would look for a suspect named Deshantel Lopez or Shaniqua Ramirez.

Apparently speaking the TRUTH makes one "ignorant" these days? Interesting. When did the definition change?
