On Tuesday night in the Big Apple, a security camera caught the horrifying moment a young mother from Brooklyn was killed in cold blood for no apparent reason.
According to The New York Post, three aggressive thugs opened fire on 28-year-old Clarisa Burgos and the 39-year-old driver of the black Honda sedan when they were stopped over near 127th Street and Liberty Avenue in Richmond Hill.
A single bullet to the head struck Burgos amid the barrage of bullets. Six gunshots to the torso did not stop the driver from surviving the shooting, and he proceeded to drive to the 103rd police precinct headquarters in nearby Jamaica.
According to The Gothamist, Burgos was transferred to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable condition after being declared dead at the precinct.
As the Gothamist points out, Burgos leaves behind a four-year-old kid, which makes the situation even more terrible. Just hours before, according to The Daily Mail, she had taken her young son ice skating for a wonderful evening. The boy wasn’t inside the car.
The captured security tape opens with two guys in dark clothes crossing the street and approaching the car, while a third man passes the car directly on the sidewalk.
Then, as another shooter opens fire behind him, the footage shows one of the thugs firing multiple shots into the driver’s window.

You can thank NYC’s soft on crime policies for this.

The third shooter fires from the sidewalk and pierces the glass of the car as the injured driver tries to flee at high speed.
After that, the male victim’s automobile stops in the middle of the road for a brief time before the three cowardly people drive away.
When Burgo’s aunt Clover Gallart learned of her niece’s passing, she naturally became shocked and angry.
“We want to know what the hell happened,” Gallart told Gothamist at the family’s apartment in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. “Why? Why is there another child without his mother?”
As of Wednesday night, according to the New York Post, no one had been arrested, and the killing’s motivation was still unknown.
According to the police, it is now unknown what kind of relationship Burgos has with the individual who is operating the vehicle.
