A 20-year-old woman was shot dead in the middle of the street in Manhattan while she was walking her three-month-old baby in a stroller last night in New York.
The mother of the family was on the Upper East Side when a man approached very close to her to shoot her once in the head, explained Keechant Sewell of the New York police in a press briefing.
Ms. Sewell also said that the suspect, who has still not been apprehended, fled the scene on foot.
The victim died in hospital. His identity has not been revealed. The child was not injured, according to CBS.
No reason for the murder of the young woman has filtered from the authorities’ press briefing.
The mayor of New York for his part spoke of the resurgence of armed violence in his city. “There is a problem of overproliferation of weapons on our streets,” said Eric Adams.
