BROOKLYN, NEW YORK: A shocking video shows the horrifying moment three gunmen ambushed a vehicle in Queens on Tuesday, December 26 night, killing a mother who was sitting in the front passenger seat and wounding the driver, as per New York Post.
Clarisa Burgos, 28, was in a black Honda sedan that was pulled over near 127th Street and Liberty Avenue in Richmond Hill when she and the 39-year-old male driver (name not identified), who some reports identified as her boyfriend, came under fire just before midnight.

Burgos who was mother to a 4-year-old son was shot once in the head and died on the spot, police said.
“We’ve raised her in a good way, with love,” her aunt told The Post on December 26.
“God knows what has happened to her," she said.
As per the footage, a man is seen passing the car on the sidewalk while two men in dark clothes slowly cross the street and approach it, The Post reported.
The footage reveals one of the males pulling a revolver and shooting multiple times into the driver's side window while another man fires from behind him.
According to the video, the injured driver tries to accelerate and get away as the suspect, who had been on the sidewalk, dashes in front of the vehicle and fires several more rounds through the driver's side window and front windscreen.
What happened to the driver?
The video shows the victim's car stalling in the middle of the road for a few seconds before the three gunmen flee.
Just before midnight, the driver arrived at the NYPD's 103rd precinct station house, which is roughly 2.5 miles from the shooting scene, and informed the authorities that both he and Burgos had been shot.
The driver, who was shot six times in the torso, was transported by emergency medical services to Jamaica Hospital Medical Centre, where his condition was described as stable.
Police say Burgos was pronounced dead at the scene. As of Wednesday, December 27 night, no one had been arrested, and the shooting's motivation remained a mystery.
