19-Year-Old Son Charged with Triple Fatal Stabbing of Jayden Rivera and Family in Bronx

A 19-year-old suspect has been charged with the murders of three people found stabbed to death in an apartment in the Bronx. Jayden Rivera, the son of one of the victims, was arrested three days after the incident and is facing charges of murder-multiple victims, murder-intention, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon.

The victims, a 5-year-old boy, his 33-year-old mother, and his 38-year-old father, were discovered on Sunday morning inside their Mott Haven apartment. Police responded to a 911 call and found the father with stab wounds in the hallway. The bodies of the mother and the young boy were later found inside the apartment.

According to neighbors, there was a disturbance the night before the incident, with reports of a scuffle and a woman screaming. One tenant mentioned how they opened their door to go to work and found the body of the father in the hallway. The discovery of the victims shocked the community.

The suspect, Jayden Rivera, checked into a medical center in Westchester County following the murders. The New York Post reported that Jayden is the son of Jonathan Rivera, the 38-year-old victim. Jonathan was described as a dedicated worker and loving father by his employer, as he worked as a maintenance worker at a nearby daycare center.

The motive for the stabbings is still under investigation. The arrest of Jayden Rivera brings some measure of closure to the devastated community, but the tragic loss of three lives continues to reverberate throughout the Bronx. Police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward and assist with the ongoing investigation.

As the community mourns the loss of the young boy, his mother, and his father, the focus now turns to the legal proceedings against Jayden Rivera and the pursuit of justice for the victims.
