"Police say Carmen Aponte, 66, was discovered by her adult daughter around 1:30 a.m. when she came home to the family's apartment on Seneca Avenue, near Faile Street in the Hunts Point section.

Responding officers say they found the woman unconscious in her bed with injuries to her head. EMS responded and pronounced the mother dead at the scene.

Later Wednesday, police announced Aponte's adult son was arrested in connection with her death.

Police believe Steven Castro, 40, struck his mother in the head with an object during a "jealous rage."

It was not immediately clear what the object was or what sparked the man's rage.

Castro is now facing charges including murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon, according to police."

“I never would expect it, never. It was like those remarkable families that you see— for so many years, they were the perfect family,” said Castillo, 47, said on Thursday, noting that Castro still frequently stopped by his mother’s place.

“The son, he was very nice. He was quiet, but very polite ... and he didn’t look disturbed,” she said. "They had a great relationship because he was with his mother all the time.

“I’m very confused, I would never expect this from him ... It’s like, how could this happen?”
