Story summary

On Friday night, October 21, 2026, in Jamaica, Queens, a violent stabbing incident occurred at a home on 149th Street. Four people were stabbed inside the residence; one of them was a woman who later confronted police with a knife after taking it from her brother, Rashaun Donovan, who allegedly attacked several family members. Emergency services responded around 9:38 pm following reports of the stabbing. The injured individuals, including the woman and three men, were taken to different hospitals; the woman was reportedly in stable condition at Jamaica Hospital.

According to NYPD Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera, one man warned officers from a second-floor window that his uncle had stabbed him before police entered the home using keys thrown from a third-floor window. Inside, they found two men and the woman involved in a struggle in a small bedroom on the third floor. Police shot the woman after she was told to drop the knife; she suffered three gunshot wounds.

The victim's boyfriend, Edward Grant, reported that Shanequa Donovan, 38, had managed to take a knife away from her brother who “snapped” and was attacking family members. When police arrived, she threw keys out of a window to allow entry into the home but remained in possession of the weapon until confronted by officers inside.
