A relentless social media bullying campaign against a 17-year-old girl in the Bronx ended in horror — when an alleged teen rival stabbed her to death on a street in broad daylight, cops and law enforcement sources said.
Emery Mizell – the oldest of four siblings – was fatally knifed in the chest around 2:15 p.m. Thursday on Boynton Avenue near Watson Avenue in the Soundview neighborhood, police said.
Her alleged attacker, a 15-year-old girl, was quickly taken into custody and charged with murder, manslaughter and unlawful possession of a weapon, cops said. Her name was not released because she is a minor.
The tragic and senseless slaying has devastated Emery’s loved ones, who gathered outside her Evergreen Avenue apartment building Friday for an emotional memorial.
“She was there for me when no one was there all the time. She gave me advice all the time when I needed it,” Emery’s heartbroken 13-year-old sister Gianna told The Post.
Gianna, who tragically became the oldest sibling overnight, fondly recalled her “good big sister” with whom she liked to dance and sing with as she tried to process her sudden loss.
“I don’t know how I feel right now. I have mixed emotions right now. At one point, I’m crying. The next minute I’m like, I don’t know. Every time I go through my camera I see her,” said Gianna.
Emery’s family said they were told the 15-year-old suspect went to James Monroe High School with Emery, but were not sure of the nature of their relationship.
According to police, Emery and her alleged killer were involved in an ongoing dispute.
The victim had been bombarded with harassment on social media prior to the slaying, police sources said.
