- Thomas Tracy

A BRONX MAN stabbed his exgirlfrie­nd to death — and left their 2-year-old son alone with her body, police said.

Darrin Rose, 22, is accused of killing Zoila Feliz inside her apartment on Stratford Ave. near Westcheste­r Ave. in Soundview, authoritie­s said.

Rose cut Feliz’s throat and stabbed her in the stomach during an argument in the bedroom, police said.

Feliz’s worried mom found her body at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. She told police no one answered the doorbell and she heard her grandson, Jaylen crying on the other side of the door.

The building superinten­dent gave the worried mother access to the fire escape, and through the window she saw her 22-yearold daughter lying in a pool of blood. The boy was unharmed, cops said.

Police identified Rose — Jaylen’s father — as a person of interest at the beginning of the investigat­ion.

Rose requested a lawyer as soon as he was brought in for questionin­g, but detectives had enough evidence to charge him, police sources said.

He is facing murder, manslaught­er, assault and weapons possession charges.
