Crystal Grant told FOX 5 NY that she saw the woman being carried into an ambulance on a stretcher, and that everyone in the neighborhood began praying.

She said the victim was shot “in the middle of gunfire.”

“Mayor Adams, you told us that you would keep us protected in this community. You are focused on some of the wrong things,” Grant said, referring to Mayor Eric Adams, who is in the middle of a tough re-election campaign.

“When we lose our elderly, we lose our community,” she continued.

One witness said she was “shocked” that this happened on 110th Street.

“For this to happen at 12 o’clock in the afternoon? It’s insane,” another witness told the news station.

The victim’s name has not been released, and investigators have not disclosed a motive for the deadly shooting, the NYPD said.
