Details On Shooting Of Woman Who Tried To Kill Cops In Mamaroneck

MAMARONECK, NY — The woman who is charged with trying to murder two Mamaroneck police officers is still recovering from her injuries as her case heads toward a grand jury. Cynthia Arce, 28, is accused of stabbing two officers as they tried to save her 2-year-old daughter, Gabrielle Boyd, who later died.

Arce’s lawyer said in court Thursday that the woman was shot three times and suffered a knife wound to the side of her throat, lohud.com said. She remains in intensive care.

Village police responded to a 911 call at Arce’s Chestnut Avenue home April 28. She repeatedly slashed and stabbed at the officers, two of whom were injured after the use of a stun gun failed.

The Mamaroneck PBA said her shooting probably saved the officers’ lives.

The Westchester County Medical Examiner is conducting an autopsy on Boyd, but results have not been released.

Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino Jr. said his office is continuing to investigate the charges against Arce and that the results of the child’s autopsy could have a major impact on the direction the case takes.
