Man shoots woman in the head; wounded neighbor

A 51-year-old woman was shot and killed, allegedly by her boyfriend, who police say also wounded a neighbor in Queens Monday morning.

The incident happened at a third-floor residence on Fresh Pond Road in Ridgewood.

The dead woman, Migdalia Ortega, was shot in the head. The victim was a civilian employee of the NYPD.

The suspect was identified by police as Pedro Cintron, 55, who fled the scene.

The man and the deceased woman would have been in the middle of a domestic dispute when the 48-year-old neighbor, who lives on the second floor of the building, came to see what was happening.

The subject also shot the neighbor and followed her to her apartment. The woman was shot in the stomach and her shoulder and she is in critical condition.
