"It is heartbreaking that a mother lost her life so violently at the hands of her only child."
"This tragedy has shattered a family and deeply affected her loved ones."
A Brooklyn resident received a 20-years-to-life sentence for second-degree murder after killing her mother and the mother's dog. On Jan. 19, 2024, police responded to a disturbance at 1500 Hornell Loop in Starrett City and found Donna Hyman, 58, dead with stab wounds to her neck, chest, arms, back and head. Hyman's dog, Gigi, was found outside, stabbed nearly three dozen times and thrown from an 11th-floor balcony. The suspect, 38-year-old Drea Eugene, was found outside naked and covered in blood with self-inflicted stab wounds and a dog bite. Eugene pleaded guilty in September; the defense attorney declined comment.
