Detectives are looking into whether the shooter who gunned down a 25-year-old in Manhattan's East Village on Thursday was waiting for the victim to get off work before ambushing her from behind, a senior police official with direct knowledge tells News 4.
The victim, identified as Imani Armstrong, was shot by a gunman in black who may have been wearing a mask, police said. The 25-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene following reports of gunfire as she was walking along East 14th Street and Irving Place, near Union Square, around 5 a.m. The shots were fired near NYU, but there's no indication at this point that the victim had a connection to the university. Cops said the killer fled the scene, which was teeming with law enforcement by the time the sun came up, Citizen app video shows.
Additional video in possession of police shows the victim leaving IHOP, where she worked, a few minutes before 5 a.m. and walk west down East 14th Street.
