Two years after Jennifer Irigoyen was fatally stabbed outside her New York apartment, her family is still waiting for the day her case is settled in court amid multiple adjournments.
In February 2019, 35-year-old Irigoyen was entering her apartment building in the Queens borough early in the morning when an assailant grabbed her from behind, dragged her through the vestibule and stabbed her multiple times in the face, neck and stomach.
Jennifer Irigoyen.
A broker at New York’s Crosstown Apartments and a mother of a teenage boy, Irigoyen would sell apartments in Manhattan’s Upper East Side and Upper West Side and home borough of Queens. At the time of the attack, she was pregnant and could be heard screaming “he’s got a knife! He’s going to kill the baby!” by witnesses and on security footage. An ambulance brought Irigoyen to the nearby Wyckoff Hospital but doctors could not save her life and she passed away the same morning.
