The stepfather of a 15-year-old boy who was found dead instead his Parkchester home Monday is being questioned at the 45th Precinct.
Police believe that there was a fight between the two. It is unclear if the stepfather acted in self-defense or if it was a physical assault.
Police say the teen was found with wounds and
trauma to his neck. He was taken to New York Health + Hospitals/Jacobi,
where Corde Scott was pronounced dead.
Neighbors told News 12 they heard loud noises
coming from the apartment on Monday. They say it sounded like an
argument and then it got quiet.
Residents also said it was the first time they saw the stepfather in the building.
