A local TikToker is in police custody in connection to a deadly teen stabbing.
According to police, Andrew Tollinche, of the Bronx, is arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon.
Tollinche is also known as a local Bronx TikToker DBG. Police sources say he has a long rap sheet of run ins with the NYPD; the latest one is for allegedly raping a minor.
DBG was seen on TikTok live confirming he pleaded not guilty to those rape charges but also saying he has multiple charges related to gun possession.
Over the past few weeks a TikTok trend has been circling, with dozens of teens trolling Tollinche in his home at all hours of the day, banging on his door, calling him from the outside of the building. He was even seen knocking someone down the flight of stairs in front of his home.
Now police have connected Wednesday's deadly stabbing of Jonathan Melo to him. A 17-year-old boy that lived in Soundview, one of four children.
At this time, it’s still unclear why Melo was at that address. Police say this is still an open investigation.
