The woman, who died at the a hospital, has been identified by police as Antoinette Stewart-Gordon.
Sources tell News 12 that she was the mother of the 15-year-old victim.

Council member Mercedes Narcisse says they are working to contact the victims' sister in Jamaica and get mental help for the child.
"Whatever help we can provide to help the family stay together. I spoke with an officer from the 69th Precinct - they are on the case - they will follow up with me to see how we can support that young man. He is only 15 years old," she said.
She also is highlighting the resources available for domestic violence in her district, urging those who feel in danger to contact Safe Horizon and Met Council, both operating in Canarsie.
