Sad story in the Daily News today

There's a candlelight vigil for the 2 women shot in Brooklyn - tonight, 7pm, corner of Sutter & Euclid, Brooklyn.
"A" train to Euclid Ave if you want to attend the vigil.
NY Daily News wrote: A man angry over what cops called a bisexual love triangle gunned down his ex-girlfriend and then shot her new lover on a Brooklyn street Wednesday.

Jeanette Martinez, 23, was getting ready to move out of the Boulevard Houses when her ex ran up and shot her twice in the head as she stood on the sidewalk near her car, friends and police sources said.

Martinez had filed an assault complaint against the gunman, who was not identified, just hours before the 1 p.m. incident, sources said.

"It was an execution, pure and simple. The woman didn't stand a chance," a police source said.

The gunman then chased Martinez's girlfriend of seven months, Keila Ocasio, 19, across five lanes of traffic on Linden Blvd. into an oncoming SUV.

There were four young women shot in Brooklyn yesterday -- a fifth grader, a 21 year old walking to see her friend, and the two in the story above. So so sad.
