Queens Bus Matron Stabbed To Death During Possible Home Invasion
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The NYPD is investigating the stabbing death of a Queens woman who police believe may have been killed during a home invasion robbery.
Rose Ragsdale, 66, was found unconscious and unresponsive in her Queens Village home around 3:20 a.m. Friday. The bus matron for Hoyt Transportation had been stabbed in her chest and arm, police said.
She was taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital, where she died.
Police believe Ragsdale was killed by someone who broke into her home on 105th Avenue, 1010 WINS' Mona Rivera reported.
A co-worker, who parks his minibus in Ragsdale's driveway, was shocked to find the home a crime scene when he arrived Friday morning.
"I was supposed to go to work this morning, when I got here a quarter to six I saw this, [it's] devastating," the co-worker, named Jean, said. "She loved her job, she's a hard-working woman, very nice, kind lady."
Ragsdale was planning to take the day off to take her 98-year-old mother, who lived at the home, to an appointment, Jean said.
No arrests have been made.
The investigation is ongoing.
