Stuart and a friend decided to leave the store but were tracked down by the woman near Holland Avenue and East 212th Street, the senior officials said. Shortly after, investigators believe her boyfriend showed and and shot Stuart.
Police have not announced any arrests in the shooting, nor has any description of the suspect been released.
