Spurned Lover Shoots Woman Dead. Suspect Killed In Shootout With NYPD




[From article]
A murderous, spurned lover fatally shot his ex-girlfriend, then cruelly taunted her new boyfriend and several of her relatives — boasting that he was the “grim reaper” before getting killed in a gunfight with cops early Tuesday morning.
Vicious ex-con Dalton Branch — who also tried to shoot the other man in the love triangle — twice called his victim’s elderly aunt after gunning down Patsy Mohammed outside the casino at Aqueduct Raceway in Queens.


Dalton Branch, Suspect Killed in Shootout With NYPD


Victim Patricia “Patsy” Mohamed

A .38-caliber semi-automatic firearm and additional ammunition were recovered at the scene.
“He told me I should prepare myself to bury my niece,” Rosemarie Guilford, 75, said at the Brooklyn home she shared with Mohammed.
“Then he called back and he told me: ‘I gave it to her good, she’s dead so prepare yourself…I could come and burn your house down.”

Cops used cell-tower information to trace Branch to an East New York parking lot where he opened fire when three members of the Queens Warrant Squad rolled up shortly before 6 a.m.
The cops shot back, killing Branch in a furious exchange of gunfire that left him with 15 bullet wounds, NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said.

Surveillance video of the Resorts World Casino parking lot shows Mohammed driving up and waiting outside her car for about 10 minutes for Kenneth Hickman, 51, a supervisor for a bus company that shuttles gamblers there, sources said.
The couple embraced and made out, then chatted until Branch drove up in a rented, white Dodge Charger and started shooting, sources said.
Boyce said Mohammed, 55, scrambled into her car, where Branch repeatedly shot her.
Branch then got back into his car and chased Hickman around the lot, repeatedly firing through the open windows as Hickman ran and hid behind parked cars, sources said.
Branch finally gave up, drove back to Mohammed’s car and shot her repeatedly until he ran out of ammo and drove off, sources said.
