NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Two teenagers, aged 15, have been arrested for allegedly murdering a 20-year-old mother with mental issues. The two suspects - a girl and a boy - have not been named, police believed that they killed, the victim, Nyla Bond in a “revenge homicide”. As per a report by The Sun, the female suspect arranged the killing after she blamed the 20-year-old for sharing sexually explicit photos of her.

Reports stated that the girl lured Bond to the hallway of her father’s apartment in the Bronx on November 2, where she was fatally stabbed in the chest by the boy. On the day when the alleged murder happened, surveillance video showed the victim and the girl walking together on the fourth floor of the Bronx apartment. The footage also captured two young men waiting in the hallway of the Mount Eden residence. While one boy struck Bond with the knife, another one hurt her with what seemed to be a cane. The crime was allegedly carried out after the teen believed Bond released her explicit snaps publicly, though her claims are yet to be verified.

“This is a planned revenge homicide,” a police source told The Daily News after the female suspect was taken into custody along with her 15-year-old male crime partner. Both have been charged with murder, manslaughter and possession of a weapon. The third suspect has not been arrested yet. NYPD has said that Bond, who had an 11-month-old baby and the teen female suspect were romantically involved as well. Also, a day after the gory attack, the girl sent a Facebook message to the victim’s mother, Shadonna Watson, expressing her grief over the loss. “She set my daughter up and she even messaged me on Facebook afterward. She said ‘So sorry for your loss, mama bear.’ This girl is the devil. That girl cut my daughter a few weeks ago. If she did that, she probably came back to finish the job,” Bond's devastated mother said.

Police have said that on October 13, a complaint was filed by the victim against an ex for slashing her in the face and stabbing her in the back and buttocks. But since the victim only knew the nickname of her attacker, no investigation was launched. Watson now thinks that the suspect sent her condolences so that police do not suspect her.

According to reports, Bond had mental health problems and after turning 16, she landed in psych wards and out on the street. But she was still remembered as “gentle” and “loving”. A GoFundMe page has also been launched for Bond’s son for his “care and future”, which has received more than $5000. “Nyla was a bright light in the lives of family, friends, and the greater community.  She was a beloved daughter, sister, friend, and new mother.  Her smile, spirit, bright mind, and infectious laugh stay with all of us who were fortunate enough to have her touch our lives. Nyla was truly one of a kind. She lives on through her 11-month-old son, Chance, who turns one year old this Thanksgiving. As educators who had the privilege and honor of having Nyla as part of our community at KIPP Infinity Middle School, we are accepting donations to go toward Chance's care and future and to support costs incurred by her family during this time. We love you and miss you, Nyla,” the message on the page read.
