BRONX - A man who stabbed his wife to death in front of his young children, inside a Bronx homeless shelter, sill serve the next 20 years in prison for the vicious murder. 


Ernesto Valerio, 27, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to murdering his wife, 19-year-old Emilsy Calix, in front of their daughters ages 2 and five months old. Valerio left the children in the apartment with the body when he fled the murder scene.


Prosecutors said on October 2, 2019, Valerio and Calix got into a heated arguement inside their apartment in a Bronx homeless shelter at 85 East 171st Street. During the fight, Valerio admitted to grabbing a kitchen knife and repeatedly stabbing Calix in the face, neck and chest. 




Security guards at the shelter heard screaming and went to the apartment to investigate. Valerio met the guards at the apartment door. He told them his wife went to the store and that one of his children had fallen while he was watching them. 




When the guards went to the lobby to check the sign-out book, Valerio fled the building- leaving the children alone with their mother’s body. The guards returned to the apartment to find Calix’ body in the bathtub.





“The defendant stabbed his wife in front of their children,” said Bronx District Attorney Clark. “This vicious attack not only took the life of a 19-year-old woman, but also ripped the two children from their mother and caused trauma to staff working to provide services to the defendant at the shelter where the stabbing occurred.”
