A Brooklyn man shot his girlfriend and then took his own life after an argument over money and their kids in a murder-suicide his mother said she witnessed on Monday.
A long-running tension between couple Teddy Knight, 35, and Tanezia Blockwood, 29, turned deadly late in the morning when Knight pulled out a gun inside the couple’s Midwood apartment, his mother Norma Knight told The Post in a phone interview.
“He went somewhere in the cupboard and I saw he took out a gun and he started shooting her,” said Norma, 65, who shares the Avenue I and Ocean Avenue apartment with the couple.
“He gave her two bullets and she fell on the floor and then he stomped her in her face.”
Responding cops found the two lifeless bodies, both with gunshot wounds to the head, around 10:10 a.m. near a kitchen, authorities said.
The couple’s final argument began overnight, keeping Norma awake, she said.
“Last night I was in my bed and I was not sleeping and I heard them making noise in the side bedroom, which is their bedroom,” Norma said. “I never got up to see what happened.
“Then this morning I got up and I heard them making noise,” she added. “And when I got out from the bedroom, I see she’s pushing clothes inside a laundry bag.
“[Then the] two of them start cussing and fighting and end up in the bathroom.”
