A grieving mother in Brooklyn faced the suspect accused of murdering her son, asking the heartbreaking question: “Why did you kill my son?” The distraught mother voiced her pain as she saw the prime suspect being escorted from a police precinct in handcuffs on Tuesday, according to amNewYork Metro.

Noah Rentas, 18, of South Slope, was arrested and charged in connection with the fatal stabbing that occurred near the Barclays Centre earlier this month.

According to police, Rentas allegedly stabbed 27-year-old Michael Hernandez during an assault by a group of teenagers on Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues on March 14. The incident reportedly followed a verbal argument. Hernandez was pronounced dead at the scene.
