NYPD officers arrested 59-year-old Denise Aponte on Monday morning, charging her with murder, manslaughter and criminal weapons possession in connection with the killing of Randy Blanche in Morris Heights. First responders found Blanche on the sidewalk at 160 West 174th St. with multiple gunshot wounds to his head around 8 p.m. Sunday. He was later pronounced dead at BronxCare Hospital.
