An 18-year-old high school football player from The Bronx has been arrested and charged with manslaughter after police say he choked his mother's ex-boyfriend to death for physically assaulting her.
Luis Moux was arrested on Monday in the University Heights section of The Bronx for the killing of 43-year-old Stanley Washington.
According to the NYPD, the deadly domestic dispute began unfolding at around 4.30am when Washington arrived at Lorena Sesma's apartment on University Avenue, ostensibly to talk to her.
Sesma and Washington soon began arguing in the hallway and the 37-year-old woman tried to retreat inside her unit, but police say Washington followed her and allegedly began beating her.
Sesma's son, Moux, heard the commotion, emerged from his room in the rear of the apartment and rushed to his mother's aid, reported PIX11.
