Police are looking for a man who shot and killed one woman and wounded another in what is being called a bisexual love triangle gone wrong.
The NYPD says 22-year-old Janet Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene on Wednesday. A 20-year-old woman is in critical condition at Brookdale Hospital.
Martinez had obtained an order of protection against a man, and police said they are looking for him. There is no word on whether he is wanted for questioning in the shooting.
The shooting happened around 12:45 p.m. at Jerome Street and Linden Boulevard, outside the Boulevard Houses in East New York.
The Daily News quotes police sources Thursday as saying that Martinez was shot twice in the head by her ex-boyfriend, who then chased her lesbian lover. That woman was chased across five lanes of traffic and hit by an SUV, the News said. That’s when the gunman shot her four times, the report said.
The Daily News quotes friends, family and neighbors as saying the ex-boyfriend was deeply jealous over the affair between the two women.
