The estranged husband charged with murdering his off-duty NYPD officer wife is due in court Tuesday. 

Argenis Baez, 33, of the Bronx, is charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon in the stabbing of his estranged wife, 31-year-old transit Officer Arianna Reyes-Gomez.

The New York City Police Department said officers responded to a 911 call of a female stabbed inside an apartment in the 700 block of Grand Concourse within the confines of the 44 Precinct in the Bronx at approximately 2:50 a.m. Monday. 

Upon arrival, officers observed Reyes-Gomez, who was off-duty at the time, unconscious and unresponsive, with multiple stab wounds about the body.

Video from local news outlets showed a handcuffed Baez hanging his head while cameras flashed as officers walked him out of a precinct and to a police vehicle Monday night. 

"Today, we mourn. Our hearts are heavy as we investigate the tragic murder of an NYPD officer who was off-duty last night in the Bronx," NYPD News tweeted Monday. "We’re here for her loved ones, her fellow cops — and to ensure the person responsible is brought to justice."

NYPD had different addresses for Baez and Reyes-Gomez listed in the Bronx.

PIX 11 reported that Reyes-Gomez managed to call her cousin, who dialed 911, during the violent incident, but by the time police arrived it was too late.
