When they arrived, police said they found Leombruno inside a hotel room with multiple stab wounds to her chest and abdomen. Medical officers pronounced her dead at the scene.

Officials believe McCarren and Leombruno got into an argument, and McCarren stabbed his girlfriend multiple times, leading to her death.

Police said the two used to live together and have children in common. At the time of the alleged stabbing, the children were not present, and the two were not living together, according to officials.

McCarren was charged Aug. 12 with one count of second-degree murder.

He was arraigned Aug. 13 in 34th District Court and remanded to jail. A probable cause conference is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Aug. 25.
