A Brooklyn man and his girlfriend are dead after a tragic murder-suicide that the perpetrator’s mom witnessed Monday morning.

Teddy Knight, 35, shot Tanezia Blockwood, 29, multiple times inside their Midwood apartment following a night of arguing, Knight’s mother said.

“He went somewhere in the cupboard and I saw he took out a gun and he started shooting her,” the woman recalled.
