Woman Accused Of Fatally Running Over Another Woman In Love Triangle Dispute
The 33-year-old New York woman who fatally ran over a woman in a suspected love triangle dispute did so intentionally, prosecutors say, with a Brooklyn Criminal Court judge ordering the defendant held in custody on Thursday.
Naomi Broomes was remanded on charges of second-degree murder and failure to report the incident following her arraignment over the January 11 death of 24-year-old Shakira Serrano.
A criminal complaint described a vicious attack outside NYCHA’s Pink Houses in East New York, where Serrano lived.
While Broomes drove around, Serrano started fighting with her ex-boyfriend and fell to the ground.
After repeatedly tried to run over Serrano and, once she fell to the ground, Broomes drove her vehicle “over Serrano’s entire body,” according to witnesses and recordings cited in the complaint.
Broomes, who also lives in the Pink Houses, drove off while the victim lay on the ground, the complaint stated. Suffering from “severe head and body trauma,” Serrano was taken to Brookdale University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Serrano suffered what doctors called an “internal decapitation” – which means that “the spinal cord and head were separated from each other without breaking the skin.”
The head remained on her but everything else was broken. All her ribs are broken.
Her arms were broken. Her shoulders were broken and we actually, during crime scene examination of the recovered car, police found a pink fingernail underneath the undercarriage of the car that belonged to the victim.
Broomes was expected back in court later this month.
