In a chilling incident that echoes a past tragedy, two women were discovered stabbed to death on Saturday night in Park Slope, at the very address where a murder-suicide took place two years ago, police report.
The New York City Police Department received a distress call at approximately 8 p.m. about an unresponsive woman at 386 2nd Street. Upon their arrival, officers encountered a grim scene: a 59-year-old woman suffering from multiple stab wounds.
As the investigation at the site continued, police found another victim, a 23-year-old woman, also fatally stabbed. Emergency Medical Services declared both women dead at the scene, yet their names are being withheld pending family notifications.
The circumstances surrounding the killings remain shrouded in mystery, with no immediate clues to the assailant’s identity or any potential motives.
There was no indication of who killed the women or what the motive was.
Fred Fassberger, an illustrator who has been living on the block for 30 years, was coming home from the Shul of New York when he arrived at the scene.
Fassberger described the area as a “very safe street, very quiet.”
“There was a murder here a while ago, and we had a community meeting at the church at the time,” he continued.
“That was the magnitude of an incident like that, that the community wanted to get together and know what was going on.”
In January 2024, the police found 34-year-olds Olga Kirshenbaum and Jason Jackson dead at 286 2nd Avenue in an apparent murder-suicide.
Both victims had gunshot wounds in the head. A firearm was recovered next to Jackson’s body.
Kirshenbaum was a prominent financial consultant known as “The Money Whisperer.”
Jackson was a cook who was known to neighbors as a polite and kind person.
