Maniac Who Beat Aunt To Death With Broom Banned From Her NYC Building For Sick Behavior — But Family Is Clinging To Him

A troubled nephew accused of beating his aunt to death with a broom was such a threat that he was banned from her Queens apartment building — but his family is standing by him.

Alexander Fleming was an unwanted, drugged and mentally deranged presence often seen walking around the block at the 164th Street home where his 55-year-old aunt Juanita Dallas lived for a decade, they said residents for The Post.

He even defecated outside the home and hit the Dallas homeowner just weeks before Tuesday night, when police say he got into an argument with his aunt, became enraged and hit her in the head with a broom in her basement apartment in Jamaica.

The blow killed Dallas, but her granddaughter Dominique Mitchell said the family will continue to stay by Fleming’s side and surround him with love.

“He’s a 29-year-old who lost his father before he was even born,” she said of Fleming, who is her cousin and god brother. “His life has been ruined ever since. There has been a lot of hurt and sadness in the last two years for him.

“He is one of my favorite human beings in the world. I never gave up on him. I always tried to help him.”

Fleming is charged with murder after police arrested him on Tuesday.

The fatal confrontation occurred while Dallas’ mother and 15-year-old son were inside the home, Mitchell said. The two will stay together after that, she said.

“He’s doing a lot better than we expected,” Mitchell said of Dallas’ son. “He was her only child, her miracle child. She had trouble with children and then she finally had (him). They were close. We’re going to surround him with love.”

For the neighbors, the fight was the tragic culmination of long-standing problems.

Fleming had several tense run-ins with owner Jainarine Chandick, who said she didn’t want the “troublemaker” — who has racked up 10 previous arrests — on her property. He claimed he called the police when Fleming punched him in the face in an argument in early August.

“He comes here, he urinates on my concrete,” Chandick said Thursday. “He’s on my concrete. He smokes weed. I told him you can’t come here. He raised his hand to strike me.”

Fleming’s previous arrests date back to 2018, when he was arrested for criminal mischief in Queens, law enforcement sources said. Since then, he has been in regular trouble with the law, ranging from grand theft to public lewdness to acting in a manner injurious to a child.

A recent incident does not appear to have resulted in an arrest, but was still troubling for Chandick.

The owner said a few weeks before the murder that Fleming forced his way into the yard.

“I tried to stop him and he punched me in the face,” Chandick said, showing The Post an NYPD incident report. “It broke the gate light so it doesn’t work.”

A longtime resident of the block said Fleming appeared to be homeless.

“That boy’s lost his balls,” he said, pointing to his head and twiddling his fingers. “He needs help.

“I could see the transition in the last five years, I would say,” he said, holding up five fingers. “He was spiraling out of control. He looked dirty, walking up and down the block.”

Neighbor Jose Lizo, 56, said he often saw a drugged-up Fleming hunched over, “swaying around, looking like a zombie.”

When he once caught Fleming rummaging around in his car, he said he could barely stand up or keep his eyes open.

“When he comes to see his family, he knocks on the window and I open the door for him,” Lizo said.

“I feel sorry for the whole family.”
