Two women were found stabbed to death Saturday evening inside a Park Slope apartment building, and police believe the killing ended as an apparent murder-suicide. The dead were later identified as Olga Elena Bracero, 59, and her 23-year-old daughter, Kayla Wilson.

Officers from the NYPD's 78th Precinct were sent at about 8 p.m. on May 30 to 386 2nd St., between Fifth and Sixth avenues, after a 911 call reported a woman being assaulted in the building. Inside the apartment, police found Bracero unconscious and unresponsive with multiple stab wounds throughout her body. While searching the apartment, they found Wilson, also unconscious and unresponsive, with stab wounds to her body. EMS pronounced both women dead at the scene.

The case drew immediate attention because it landed in a building already linked to deadly violence. In January 2024, officers found the bodies of 34-year-old financial adviser Olga Kirshenbaum and her partner, 34-year-old Jason Jackson, inside the same building. Both had gunshot wounds to the head, and a firearm was recovered next to Jackson's body. For neighbors, the address has become a place where police tape has returned more than once, each time with another death inside.

Investigators believe Wilson fatally stabbed her mother before taking her own life, but the case remained under investigation and no arrests had been made. That leaves the central question focused not on who died, but on what set the violence in motion inside the apartment. Police have not released a motive, and the facts so far point to a family killing that unfolded quickly enough for a 911 call but not quickly enough to save either woman.

The deaths were also part of a wider run of violence in Brooklyn. Saturday's case was the fourth fatal stabbing incident reported in the borough in one week, a figure that gives the Park Slope killing a broader and darker frame. For Bracero's family, though, the scale of the citywide tally matters less than the final scene in one apartment on 2nd Street, where a mother and daughter were found dead before investigators could answer why.
