Police have made an arrest in the murder of 35-year-old Jennifer Irigoyen, who was fatally stabbed in Ridgewood on Sunday.

Irigoyen’s boyfriend, Anthony Hobson, 44, turned himself into the 104th Precinct stationhouse earlier this morning, police said.

Irigoyen, who worked as a real estate broker and had a listed address in Forest Hills, was five-months pregnant at the time of the stabbing on Feb. 3.

Hobson allegedly dragged Irigoyen from her apartment inside 60-80 Myrtle Ave. into the vestibule area of the building at around 1 a.m., where he stabbed her multiple times in the neck and stomach.

She was later transported by EMS to Wyckoff Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Hobson is being charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence, abortion and criminal possession of a weapon. He was also charged with second-degree abortion.

Holden calls out Mayor Adams—will he reopen ICE office on Rikers Island and tackle migrant crime?

One day after Mayor Eric Adams expressed his willingness to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on addressing the migrant crisis and signaled a readiness to meet with former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) head Tom Homan, Council Member Robert Holden called on the mayor to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.

Holden, who represents District 30 in Queens, which encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, and parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, has been advocating for changes to the city’s sanctuary policies since July. In a letter, he previously urged the mayor to roll back laws that restrict local law enforcement agencies—including the NYPD, Department of Correction, and Department of Probation—from cooperating with ICE.
