Haunting final picture of young mother Crystal Sweet taken just hours before she and boyfriend were shot dead


This is the unfortunate side of living in the projects in NYC where life can be snatched away for no good reason by a mysterious gunman. In the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn a 5 year old little girl has to face life with a mom.

Why?

That’s for the NYPD to find out if people are willing to come forward.

This is the haunting final photograph of a young mother who was gunned down in a triple shooting that left her boyfriend dead and his brother fighting for his life in hospital.

Crystal Sweet, 22, was believed to be pregnant with her second child when she was shot in the courtyard of a building in Brooklyn, New York, as she made her way home from an all-night party.

She had been photographed just hours before as she left for her night out on Saturday, looking happy and relaxed in an orange dress with a matching handbag.
Her boyfriend, 29-year-old Timothy Walter, who had spent time in prison and was in parole, was shot dead at point blank range during the attack, at about 5am on Sunday.

Miss Sweet, still wearing her beautiful dress, was shot three times in the head and neck. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mr Walter's elder brother, Cornelius, was also shot several times, and is in a critical condition in Kings County Hospital.

Miss Sweet had got all dressed up to go to a barbecue in Bedford-Stuyvesant with Cornelius earlier that evening, leaving her five-year-old daughter, Lydia, at home with her mother.

According to the Post the pair were met by Miss Sweet's boyfriend when they got off the bus at Sheepshead Bay, where she lived with her family.
Her mother, Josephine Rodriguez, 44, said she was sleeping inside the apartment when the gunshots woke
