A jealous lover went on a bloody rampage Wednesday, killing his girlfriend in her Queens home and shooting another woman in the hand, because he suspected his gal pal was sleeping with someone else, police sources said.
Tyquan Long, 29, allegedly shot girlfriend Joann Gravette, 36, in the stomach and left her dying on the floor of her Rockaways apartment at around 11 a.m., according to police sources.
“Somebody killed my daughter!” Gravette’s mother screamed outside the building. “Why why? Why did he kill my baby?!”
The gunman’s jealous rage continued as he stalked down into the lobby of the building and fired several more shots at the 51-year-old mother of his girlfriend’s suspected lover, striking her in the hand, sources said.
The wounded woman, identified as Barbara Romano, was taken to St. John’s Hospital in stable condition.
“My mom’s going to be okay,” Romano’s daughter Kimberly Alicea said.
“She said he shot three or four times. She dove behind the desk, the security desk. Then she crawled into the boiler room which is next door and called the police.”
The fight started when Long confronted his girlfriend and accused her of sleeping with another man who lives in the building, sources said.
Neighbors said that the two had a stormy relationship.
“She was getting scared of him,” Alicea said.
“The relationship was becoming abusive and she didn’t know what to do.”
Gravette, the girlfriend, was pronounced dead hours later at St. John’s Hospital.
The killer was still on the loose Wednesday night.
