 A 29-year-old mother was stabbed to death by a woman in a Bronx bodega during a broad-daylight feud on Thursday, police and witnesses said. 

Gwendolyn Guyton was inside Jose Mini Market Inc. on Southern Boulevard and East 149th Street when a rival stormed in, fought with her and then plunged a knife in her neck and torso multiple times around 3:15 p.m., according to cops and witnesses.

“I was trying to save the girl and at the same time to get her out of the store before she got stabbed,” said Alex, who works inside the Longwood deli. 

“I was trying to get them out when they were fighting, when they were fistfighting. But when I saw the knife, I was trying to help…the victim.”

Alex and a coworker held Guyton’s wounded body while they waited for medics to arrive.

Witness Mario Marrero stumbled across the grisly scene outside the store. 

“She was lying down in front of the store,” said Marrero. “She was just lying down, just full of blood. It was all over her body.”

Guyton was rushed to Lincoln Medical Center but could not be saved. 

Her female killer fled the store on a white bike and has yet to be caught, police said.

Local resident Shelby Miller said Guyton often shopped at the bodega for cigarettes and is survived by a son.  

“She didn’t deserve that,” Miller said. “Whatever she done, nobody deserves to be killed like that.”
