[Sugar Cookie]

A 19-year-old woman was killed and a 21-year-old man wounded in a shooting outside Manhattan’s Madison Square Park early Friday, cops said.

The woman was shot in the chest and the man in the leg around 12:30 a.m. while standing at West 26th Street and Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron District, according to police.

The gunman fled in what was described as a gray Nissan.

The suspect initially drove the wrong way up Fifth Avenue before turning off in an unknown direction, according to police.

Both victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where the woman perished from the gunshot wound. Her name was not immediately released pending family notification.

Cops said early Friday that a dispute preceded the shooting, but the nature of the argument was unclear.

So... Proposed adult activities for money? Or an offer for illicit inebriation devices?
Or just wrong time wrong place?

I'm kinda partial to the first one.

Drugs or sex.

Cops found the woman shot in the chest and the man, 21, with a wound to his leg near East 26th Street just before 12:30 a.m.

Mayor Bill de Blasio credited the uptick to warmer months that typically see gun violence increase, as well as gang retaliations and mounting stress caused by the new coronavirus and months under a stay-in-place order.

Police have arrested the alleged shooter who gunned down a Connecticut teenager and injured her boyfriend in a senseless murder just after midnight Friday in the Flatiron District.

Ruddy Osias, 27, of Bayswater, Queens, has been charged with the killing of Erica Lopez, 19, in what her boyfriend, Andres Arias, 21, described as a shooting over a minor bar dispute.


Osias faces charges of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly shooting the Connecticut couple after they reportedly got into an argument with strangers they had befriended while partying at the 230 Fifth Rooftop bar.

Lopez and Arias were celebrating Arias’ cousin’s boyfriend’s birthday at the venue when they began chatting and drinking with a group of six men and women inside.

But tempers flared when Lopez said one of the women they had just met groped her and their other female friend without their consent, according to Arias. When he confronted them about the accusation, an argument ensued, he said.

The couple then left the club, but the group followed them out, Arias told the Daily Mail. As Arias and Lopez were walking near Madison Square Park, the group began yelling at them again from two vehicles.

At one point, Osias hopped out of the car and began opening fire in the typically quiet, wealthy neighborhood.

Arias said Lopez tried to shove him to safety — possibly saving his life as he was only grazed by a bullet.

The two were both taken to Bellevue Hospital, where Arias learned his girlfriend had passed away.
