GRANDMA MURDER
Bed-Stuy horror amid NYC bullet surge
Three people were killed in a bloody spate of violence in the Big Apple late Thanksgiving Day, including a grandmother and “pillar in the community” who was gunned down outside her Brooklyn home, cops said.
Angelina Renita Parker was shot in the neck in front of her Bainbridge Street building in BedfordStuyvesant, part of NYCHA’s Brevoort Houses, just before 11 p.m., according to authorities.
The 69-year-old, who had lived in the neighborhood her whole life, was rushed to Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
The NYPD did not reveal the motive Friday or identify a suspect.
But grief-stricken neighbors said there is no way Parker, who was beloved by everyone in the neighborhood and “has grandkids,” could have been targeted in the shooting.
‘Everyone hurting’
“She had no problems with anyone,” one neighbor told The Post.
“Everybody is hurting right now,” the neighbor added. “When I say everybody. I mean everybody, capitalize that — from the little ones to the big ones. From the kids to the grandmothers. Everyone is hurting.”
Another neighbor recalled that Parker once helped to find her a job.
“I will be 50, and when I was younger she got me my first summer youth job. She was at my baby shower. She [has] more stories about my parents than I do,” the grieving neighbor said.
A bloody trail could still be seen on a ramp leading to the building on Friday afternoon.
In a separate act of violence about 45 minutes later, Daniel Straker, 48, was fatally shot in the back in front of a building on Macombs Place near West 152nd Street in Harlem, police said. He was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The motive for that shooting also remains under investigation.
Earlier in the evening, Eric Wright, a 52-year-old homeless man, was also fatally stabbed in the torso at Belmont and Alabama avenues in the East New York section of Brooklyn around 7:15 p.m., cops said.
He was taken to Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The assailant was a stranger to the victim and the deadly attack appears unprovoked, cops said on Friday.
No arrests have been made in any of the cases.
The three deadly incidents come as murders across the Big Apple have dipped by about 12% yearto-date, according to the latest NYPD statistics, updated Sunday.
