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."
Hatch told the Daily News. "Something’s got to be
wrong. She wouldn’t do that." Hatch had just returned from a church
meeting when someone told her a baby was thrown from a window. "When I
realized it was my building ...I knew — that’s my goddaughter," she said.
One of Fearon’s other three children — the oldest 10, the youngest 4 — were harmed
and were all taken into the care of the Administration for Children’s Services
after the incident. Paramedics took Fearon to Bronx Lebanon Hospital for a
medical evaluation.
She was then expected to be transferred to Elmhurst Medical
Center in Queens for a psych evaluation. Fearon was charged with murder late
Thursday, cops said. "All I know is that Tenisha loved her kids...that’s
all," said the suspect’s sister who refused to identify herself. Fearon
was showing signs of instability in recent days, Hatch said.
"She feels like the devil is in her. Yesterday I went
to her home and that’s what she told me. She’s saying the same thing today. I
told her, ‘You need help because you have other kids,’" Hatch told Daily
