Times Square stray bullet gunman who shot three was aiming for his brother
 [NYDAILYNEWS] The gunman who fired a barrage of rounds into crowded Times Square was trying to kill his brother but wound up wounding three innocent bystanders — including a 4-year-old girl, police sources said Sunday.The suspect, identified by sources as 31-year-old Farrakhan Muhammad,
Muhammad, who peddles bootleg CDs at the Crossroads of the World, had gotten into an argument before he pulled out a pistol and started shooting wildly, sources said. One stray bullet struck 4-year-old Skye Martinez of Gravesend, Brooklyn, who was standing in line to buy new toys at the Line Friends store. "It didn’t hit any important bones because they did the X-rays to check. But they did a full cleaning to make sure she doesn’t get any infection or anything like that," said the aunt of Skye Martinez, who asked not to be named. "There’s no bullet fragment. They didn’t see anything left. It didn’t break, it just entered and then exited." Wendy Magrinat, 23, a tourist celebrating Mother’s Day with her family, was struck in the leg while standing just inches from her 2-year-old daughter. "I was literally screaming on the floor, ’I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I have a 2 year old,’" Magrinat told the Daily News Sunday. "When I got shot I told my husband to run because he had my baby girl." The third victim, 43-year-old Marcela Aldana of New Jersey, was struck in the foot. Posted by: Fred 2021-05-10 |
