‘The system failed her’: NYPD came to slain woman’s home hour before she was killed
The NYPD showed up to a Harlem nursing student’s apartment less than an hour before she was allegedly stabbed to death by her abusive ex-boyfriend because he was trying to break in — but instead of making an effort to find him or protect her in any way, they simply took a report and left, according to police, sources and her family.
Officers from Manhattan’s 25th Precinct — where Alayna Hardy, 27, had filed six previous domestic violence reports against Fernando Munera — were soon called back to the apartment Wednesday night, but it was too late.
Munera had broken in through the fire escape after police left and stabbed her multiple times until she died.
“They should’ve put a plainclothes police officer out there or something,” Hardy’s uncle Jared Hardy told The Post by phone.

Dorchen Leidholdt, a domestic violence expert and the director of Sanctuary for Families legal center, who’s been working with gender-based violence survivors for nearly 50 years, said it is “inexplicable” that the police “simply left.”
“The police should’ve been there, they should’ve looked for him and they should’ve assessed the danger and understood … that this victim was at a great risk of danger and they should’ve stayed on the scene for at least for an hour,” Leidholdt said.
