Neighbors in East New York are mourning a Brooklyn woman who police say was fatally stabbed multiple times by her son inside her home on Saturday.
Police say they have arrested 40- year-old Kenji Francis in connection to the death of 61-year-old Tracey Sydnor. Francis is now facing murder charges. Sydnor’s neighbors say she was a good friend, a kind person and a leader in her church.
A spokesperson for the Upper Room Baptist Church called her a jewel to their ministry and asks for prayers for her family and congregation.
