NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police tracked down a fugitive in Florida three months after he was accused of shooting a Queens man to death Florida, authorities said Wednesday.
According to police, 22-year-old Raymond Jackson shot the vehicle of 27-year-old Lasaaun Lawrence 12 times during a Sept. 23 confrontation in Far Rockaway where his mother, 38-year-old Avita Campbell then smashed the victim's windshield with a metal pipe.
"This mother-and-son duo allegedly teamed up to kill a man," Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said. "A minor dispute over a few hundred dollars sparked this tragic shooting. This was a brutal, senseless killing that should not happen in our neighborhoods."
Campbell and Jackson lived together in Valley Stream, Long Island and drove to Far Rockaway in their white BMW to confront Lawrence, who was sitting in a double-parked car on Beach 31st St. near Seagirt Avenue at about 5:40 p.m., prosecutors said.
Authorities stopped Campbell and Jackson on Oct. 2 in their BMW near the Cross Island Parkway and Northern Blvd. in Bayside and found a loaded gun in the car with two clips inside a book bag.
Cash, credit cards, and gift cards in other people's names along with a ledger with the names of hundreds of people and their personal information were also found officials said.
On Oct. 14, Campbell was charged with unlicensed operation of a vehicle, weapon possession, and multiple counts of forgery and identity theft and is being held at Rikers Island without bail.
Jackson however, was set free but ballistics tests later showed that the gun found matched the weapon used in Lawrence's murder.
On Oct. 23, Jackson was indicted for murder and officials were finally able to track him down on Nov. 13 at a friend's house in Lakewood, Florida., according to WFTS.
The report said that Jackson was extradited from Florida and faces murder, assault and weapons charges.
He was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on Tuesday night and was ordered to. be held without bail .
If convicted, both Jackson and his mother face up to 25 years to life in prison.
