A teen has been arrested in connection with the stabbing death of another teen in the Bronx.
Kevin Santiago, 16, faces murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon charges.
Michael Silva, 16, was found on the fifth floor of an apartment building on 163rd Street in Morrisania Sunday night with a stab wound in the torso.
Police say Santiago stabbed Silva during an argument, before leaving the scene. Silva later died at Lincoln Hospital.
"[Sixteen-year-olds] killing 16-year-olds. For what? He didn't even know, you know? You didn't know him. He wasn't a violent person. Why you got to kill him?" said Zenaida Silva, the victim's mother.
