Two months earlier, according to the News, Lexune had been court-ordered to stay away from Smith after he had assaulted her.
Now, according to the report, Lexune faces charges that he choked Smith to death in a rear room of the cellphone repair shop, Bedford Technology, in New York Citiy’s Brooklyn borough.
