BROOKLYN, NY -- It was a dispute that started over money, then later snowballed into a war of words on Facebook and it later resulted into the brutal stabbing death of a 22-year-old Brooklyn woman.
According to police, Kamisha Richards was stabbed Monday night outside her home at the Cypress Hill Houses in East New York.
Richards suffered one stab wound to the chest and succumbed to her injuries at Brookdale Hospital a short time after.
Police have since arrested 18-year-old Kayla Henriques, the victim's brother's girlfriend who also lives in the same Brooklyn housing complex.
She has been charged with second-degree murder.
Authorities say the two women engaged in a heated argument on Facebook a day earlier. Postings on the social networking site suggests that Richards lent Henriques $20 for diapers that she did not immediately pay back.
In a series of posts, the two went back and fourth, lashing out at each other, making references to the money among other things.
"I don't give a f--k," Richards wrote to Henriques, according to the New York Post. "U know ya sister so its not just ova $20 its the principle so don't make it seem like I'm goin n 4 $20 she kno wat she did and she real f--ked up ... this aint the 1st time she did dum sh-t...F--K THESE NOSY PPL!!!!"
