New York City police have arrested and charged a transgender woman in connection to the deadly stabbing of a U.S. Postal Service worker. According to police, the fatal incident began when the suspect and victim got into an verbal altercation in a Harlem deli on Jan.

The woman accused of stabbing a postal worker to death over a spot in line at a Harlem deli has a long history of knife violence — and once threatened “to cut” one of her previous victims.

Jaia Cruz is charged with second-degree murder linked to the slaying of Ray Hodges, according to the New York City Police Department.
