A 28-year-old man from the Bronx has been slapped with a string of charges in connection with the murder of a 35-year-old woman who tried to break up a bar fight. Cristian Moya, whose address is listed as Kingsbridge Terrace, allegedly stabbed Pamela Almonte Cabrera multiple times in the chest outside Mama Dora Bar and Lounge early Sunday morning.
Eyewitnesses describe the scene as chaotic after a dispute between two men turned violent, spilling onto the sidewalk. According to police, Cabrera attempted to intervene, only to be struck by Moya's small knife. The victim was rushed to BronxCare Health Systems before being transferred to Lincoln Hospital, where she died from her injuries.
Moya was arrested at his home Tuesday evening, two days after the attack. His boyfriend, who had been involved in the fight, is not facing any charges. However, Moya now faces a slew of serious allegations, including murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon. His attorney's information has not yet been disclosed.
The NYPD says that an investigation into the incident is ongoing, with detectives reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to piece together what led up to the attack.

. Another young life lost due to some dude losing his cool. I'm all for standing up against violence, but stabbing someone who's just trying to break up a fight? That's just not right. The fact that his boyfriend wasn't charged makes me think this was more of a setup than a random act of violence 
.
. Anyway, it's clear the NYPD is taking this seriously and getting to the bottom of things. Fingers crossed they catch Moya and bring him to justice ASAP 
. This kind of violence needs to stop, and we need to raise awareness about the importance of de-escalation techniques and supporting each other in tough situations 
.
i mean i know we dont really no the whole story but that doesnt make it any less tragic for pamela's family & friends she had her whole life ahead of her 
cant believe this is what happens in our city sometimes 
like what's wrong with ppl these days? The fact that his bf was involved and not even charged is wild 
. The surveillance footage should've been released already 
.
And what's up with the lack of charges against his boyfriend? Did he get special treatment or something? 
I'm all about DIY solutions and finding ways to make things better, but this just feels like a total mess. We need some real change in our justice system, ASAP! 
. I hope Cristian gets the justice he deserves and that the police are able to get to the bottom of what happened 
. I mean, who ends up getting stabbed in a bar fight? It's like, shouldn't we be able to have a good time without someone losing their life over a stupid disagreement? 
Newsflash: no one wants a good fight... unless it's on TV or in a movie. And can we please talk about how the NYPD is reviewing surveillance footage? Like, come on, dude, this has been around for years. Can't they just use Google? 
. I mean, didn't he have something to do with it? It's just not right that his boyfriend gets a free pass while Moya faces all these charges 
. We should all be taking care of each other like that 
.
i mean what if he was the one who started the fight? or even worse, what if he was the one stabbing her? anywayz, the investigation is ongoing... hope they dig deep enough to get to the bottom of it 
. It's almost as if the presence of a male partner can somehow absolve someone of responsibility when they engage in violent behavior. This phenomenon is not unique to this incident, unfortunately - it's a pervasive issue that highlights the need for more nuanced discussions about accountability and consent.
. While it's understandable that justice must be served, one can't help but wonder if the lack of transparency around Moya's attorney has created an uneven playing field. As we move forward with this investigation, I hope that the NYPD will continue to prioritize evidence-based decision-making rather than speculation or assumptions
