During a fight Friday afternoon with her 20-year-old brother over a cellphone, Queens native Yocairis Diaz, 18, allegedly stabbed her brother to death.  Diaz called 911 before the incident with older brother, Frankie Fortuna, and told the operator, “if you don’t get here fast, I’m going to kill this guy.”  Fleeing the scene shortly after the incident, Diaz was arrested on Saturday and awaits arraignment on a charge of second-degree murder.  The New York Post reports:

“If you don’t get here fast, I’m going to kill this guy!”

A distraught Queens teenager made that warning to a 911 operator moments before allegedly stabbing her brother to death in a clash over a cellphone, sources told The Post yesterday.

Neighbors could hear screams from inside the first-floor Woodhaven apartment during a fight between Yocairis Diaz, 18, and Frank Fortuna, 20, at about 5:25 p.m. Friday.
