A Rego Park man turned himself into police today for fatally stabbing of a 35-year-old Ridgewood woman on Sunday, according to police.

Anthony Hobson, 48, who lives at 99-41 64th Ave., allegedly stabbed Jennifer Irigoyen to death in the vestibule area of her 60-80 Myrtle Ave. apartment building at around 1 a.m. on Feb. 3.

Irigoyen, who worked as a real estate broker, was five-months pregnant when Hobson allegedly stabbing her repeatedly in the neck and stomach.

Irgoyen had lived on Saunders Street, in Rego Park, prior to moving to Ridgewood about a year ago.

Hobson turned himself into the 104th Precinct station house earlier this morning, police said.

He is being charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence, abortion and criminal possession of a weapon.

Thanks to Cuomo and the DEMOCRATS there will be no prosecution for killing her unborn baby. That is how much they love abortion. In other words, the perp “aborted” his baby and no penalty under RHA – the “Reproductive Health Act” which is anything but healthy.

Whine-a whine-a

The article specifically mentions he’s been charged with abortion. Once you learn how to read you might not be so outraged at everything all the time.

You do make a good point though: the government should make a woman’s mind up about her own reproductive health, not the woman herself. You know, “small government”.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
