Woman was fatally shot in the East Village

Newsman: A 25-year-old woman was fatally shot in the East Village Thursday morning. The victim was shot in the head along East 14th Street near Irving Place just after 5 a.m.

Authorities believe she was walking home from work at IHOP on East 14th Street when she was shot. She was pronounced dead on the scene.

No arrests were immediately made and the motive was unknown.

Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday morning that the violence was not random.

“It appears as though the young lady was an intended target, we are unclear yet but we are going to continue, the investigation is still new,” Adams said. “We don’t have much more than that at this time, but again, it really highlights what the governor and I talked about yesterday and what we are continuing to talk about — the over-proliferation of guns on our streets and people using them for violent means.”

On Wednesday morning, a 38-year-old man was fatally stabbed in Chelsea.
