A New York woman has been charged with murder after she allegedly ran over her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend in a Brooklyn parking lot earlier this month.
Police say Naomi Broomes, 33, was caught on video confronting 24-year-old Shakira Serrano in the parking lot of the building where the victim lived on January 11, The New York Post reported.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said the situation was “borderline domestic violence” with “some pushing and shoving” — until Broomes jumped into her boyfriend’s car — he was with her — and tried to run over Serrano.
She missed, Kenny said, and circled the parking lot. Meanwhile, Serrano began fighting with her ex-boyfriend and, in the course of their argument, fell to the ground.
Then, Broomes ran over her and left the scene. The ex-boyfriend ran to Serrano’s side.
Serrano was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center but did not survive. Kenny said she suffered multiple broken bones, including the spinal cord.
Broomes has been charged with murder and leaving the scene of an accident.
Police have not gotten a statement from the boyfriend, who refused to talk with them without an attorney.
