BRONX - Police did not have to look far when investigating the fatal stabbing on a Bronx bus. Cops arrested the woman, they say, started the arguement that led to the murder on the bus in the same hospital as where the victim was taken- Lincoln Hospital. 




Cops arrested 42-year-old Ebony Jackson and charged her with murder and manslaughter. Officers found Jackson being treated at Lincoln Hospital, the same hospital the victim was taken to. 


The NYPD says the man who committed the stabbing is still being sought. 


The mayhem took place on an MTA bus at the intersection of East 149th Street and Gerard Avenue, near Hostos College. 


Cops say at around 8:30 on October 10, Lamont Barkley, 55, had gotten into an arguement with Jackson. As the dispute got heated a man came up to Barkley and repeatedly stabbed him in the stomach. The stabber and Jackson fled the bus.

Barkley was rushed to Lincoln Hospital which is around the corner from the attack. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. 




A short time later, cops found Jackson at the same hospital. Jackson was being treated for undisclosed injuries at Lincoln when police realized she was being sought in connection with the murder. 




Investigators believe the murder was touched off by an argument at a local bar. Barkley and Jackson had gotten into an argument in Glen Roy's bar, down the block from the crime scene. Police say Barkley left and Jackson called her boyfriend. The couple then confronted Barkley on the bus which ended in the fatal stabbing. 




Cops are still searching for the boyfriend.
