A suspect in Wednesday’s point-blank execution of a 20-year-old mother as she pushed her 3-month-old child in a stroller on Manhattan’s Upper East Side is now in police custody, several law enforcement sources with direct knowledge tell News 4.
The sources say already recovered video shows the gunman pacing in front of a residence right before the shooting, which they say isn't thought to be random. They also have surveillance footage showing the woman with the stroller at one point.
"This entire day we have been addressing the problem of overproliferation of guns on our street, how readily accessible they are and how there is just no fear in using these guns on innocent New Yorkers," Adams said Wednesday."This is the result of that." It's not clear to which of Johnson's two pregnancies Desort was referring, but two senior NYPD officials confirmed a domestic violence report involving Johnson was filed in January 2021.
Extensive details on the case history with NYPD weren't immediately available, though department officials did confirm a report was filed in 2021.
