Tenisha Fearson, 27, on Thursday, October 15, dangled her 6-month-old
baby girl out a Bronx sixth-floor window, screaming "We are all going to
die" Hallelujah" and Praise the Lord" before letting the child plunge
to her death onto the concrete below, police said.
According to Tenisha's godmother Louella Hatch, as police were taking
her away, she said “the devil is in her,”
Neighbors described a chaotic scene before the sickening drop, with
building residents yelling at the deranged naked woman when she began
throwing household items out the window.
They screamed in terror and called 911 when they saw her bring the baby
to the window.
"She threw a baby out the window!" one witness screamed.
Then, in a bizarre, ritualistic scene, Fearon lay on the floor
surrounded by her other three children: two girls and a boy who were
also naked and lying on their backs, according to next-door neighbor
Gregorio Lopez.
Lopez, 47, ran to the roof after he heard neighbors scream and saw
Fearon through a window, he said.
"I actually thought that they weren’t alive when I saw them lying
on the floor naked," Lopez said.
But then, the maniacal mom “jumped up and started hitting the window,”
he said. "That’s when I started calling for more help because I
thought she might throw more (kids) out."
Junilah’s broken body was found on the pavement, officials said. Her
shoe and Minnie Mouse headband still lay on the sidewalk. Emergency
workers rushed the infant to St. Barnabas Hospital, where she was
pronounced dead an hour later. Cops had to break down the apartment door
to get inside and free Fearon’s children.
Witness Lizette Rodriguez, 48, heard Fearon screaming and throwing
things out the window before Junilah was cast out.
"She was screaming, ‘We’re all gonna die’ and ‘Hallelujah’ and
‘Praise the Lord!’” Rodriguez said.
Hatch, 76, couldn’t believe the young mother was capable of committing
such a horrific act.
"She needs help ...I want her to get help,"
