As Tart tried to break up the tussling teens, Moore burst out of her apartment, knife in hand and stabbed her, a witness told police.

Moore, 41, who remained at the scene, was taken into custody.
where neighbors described a hotheaded homebody who had gotten into other building battles.
“Since she moved here, she hasn’t gotten along with anybody,” said next door neighbor Ana Quijano:  “Every time she starts fighting, I go to my room and turn off the lights, just in case something bigger happens. She has a bad temper. She wasn’t a good neighbor.”
More than a year ago, Moore told the Housing Authority management office at the Carey Gardens Houses that she had a “mental health disability issue,” and the building management, following protocol, referred her to a mental health-related social services provider, officials said.
A fellow tenant said Moore was known for her temper. “One day there was stuff in front of my door. I knew it was (Moore’s) stuff so I knocked on her door to ask her why she left it there,” she said. “She started flipping out. Another time I was coming home and she was butt naked with a hammer right there around the corner.
“She had a lot of problems,” the neighbor added.
Police charged Moore with murder and criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly knifing Shymeka Tart, during a Wednesday night clash in Coney Island.
