Brooklyn DA Promises Justice After Brutal Flatbush Murder

FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — Acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez is promising justice for Leondra Foster, the 32-year-old victim of a gruesome murder allegedly committed by her boyfriend in his Flatbush apartment.

Somorie Moses, 40, was arrested on Jan. 22, five days after parts of Foster's body were found in a Hunts Point trash processing center, police said.

According to The New York Post, NYPD officers found additional parts of Foster's body in the freezer inside Moses' apartment, located at 185 Erasmus St. Police declared Foster's death to be a homicide on Jan. 25.

“I’d like to thank Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark, her dedicated staff and the New York City Police Department detectives who worked so hard to make a swift arrest in this horrific case," Gonzalez said in a statement Thursday. "We in Brooklyn will seek justice for Leondra Foster, who was so tragically and brutally murdered. Somorie Moses is now charged with second-degree murder for that heinous crime and is awaiting arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court.”

The Post also spoke to Foster's father, Kenneth Foster, who said his daughter was brutalized by Moses for months before she was killed.

“He has a thing against women,” Foster said of Moses. “We tried to get her to leave him, but she would just get mad at us."
