[ABC7NY]  A pregnant woman was killed after she was shot in the head while trying to break up a fight after her baby shower in Harlem Sunday morning.Police responded to calls of a woman shot at West 128th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard around 1:15 a.m. According to police, officers found 31-year-old Shanice Young with a gunshot wound to the head, unconscious and unresponsive. Eyewitness News learned the woman was coming home from her baby shower and was bringing gifts from her car into the lobby of the building when the fight broke out between two men. Neighbors say that one man was the victim's ex-boyfriend and the other was the father of her unborn child. They say Young tried to break up the fight. According to detectives, at some point a gun went off and struck the 31-year-old in the head. "We wuz just talking, and this gun just walked up and shot her. We wuz all surprised and shit because we never seen the gun before." EMS took the victim to NYC Health + Hospitals in Harlem, where she was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! She. That's a woman. Really? Guys don't get pregnant. Really? You're a doctor. You should know that. I'm a liberal. I'm not allowed to know that. Neighbors say the woman was eight months pregnant and the unborn child did not make it. The victim also had a 6-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old sister, who she was taking care of because her mother passed away two years ago. The tragic shooting has caused an uproar in the Harlem community. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe. The window was looking better all the time.... a memorial was held outside of the building where the victim lived. No arrests have been made at this time. Posted by: Fred 2021-09-13 |
