NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A New Jersey man has been charged for the deadly shooting that killed an off-duty NYPD school safety agent and injured two others outside a Queens bar last year, police said.
Quasawn Williams, 29, was arrested and charged Wednesday with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon for the early Dec. 23 shooting in front of the Solletto Lounge on Steinway Street in Astoria.
Mye Johnson, 27, who was celebrating her birthday at the club, was shot in the torso and leg and transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital-Queens, where she was pronounced dead.
Two other people, including a 27-year-old woman and reportedly Johnson's 27-year-old new boyfriend, DaShawn Parker, were also shot but survived.
Johnson's ex-boyfriend, Williams, was waiting outside the club and got into an argument with Parker, according to the New York Daily News.
Both men then reportedly opened fire, eventually leaving Johnson, the friend and Parker wounded.
The Daily News reports Williams fled uninjured in his white BMW and headed to New Jersey. He was reportedly stopped by Garden State police for a traffic violation but was let go because cops did not know he was being sought.
