33-Year-Old Woman Shot Dead In Brooklyn Apartment, Cops Say

EAST FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — A 33-year-old woman who was shot dead in a Brooklyn apartment on Thursday might have been killed by a man who either jumped or fell from the building's window after her death, according to police and reports.

Cops found Yahhira Nesby in her Rockaway Parkway apartment, on the Brownsville-East Flatbush border, with gunshot wounds to the chest and legs just before 4:30 p.m., police said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers later found a 39-year-old man in the back of the building with a leg injury that looked like he had fallen from an "elevated position" and took him into custody for questioning, police said.

The man had not been charged as of Friday morning, but according to the Daily News police suspect he was the shooter. Police told the News that the man was Nesby's boyfriend and that he had broken his leg from leaping out of the apartment's window.
