2nd bust in Bx. murder

- Amanda Woods

Cops busted another suspect this week in the murder of a Bronx woman who once became smitten with a killer while serving as a juror at his trial, authoritie­s said.

Andrew Johnson, 28, was arrested Thursday and charged with murder for fatally shooting Katherine Diop, 29, and wounding her 31-year-old brother, cops said Friday.

Jonathan Rosario, 24, was picked up earlier this month and charged with murder in the June 16 shooting, police said.

Diop’s vote to acquit caused a hung jury in the 2012 murder trial of Devon Thomas. After the mistrial, she visited Thomas more than 30 times in jail and even showed up in court to support him during his retrial, where he was convicted of manslaught­er.
