A jealous Queens woman got behind the wheel of her car and allegedly made her boyfriend run for his life before fatally running him down, law-enforcement sources said yesterday.
Kaman Drummond, 26, was frantically ducking and weaving through parked vehicles as Hofstra University dropout Dunasha Payne, 21, sped after him in her 1994 Honda Accord just before midnight Monday night, the sources said.
Residents heard his pleas for help and called 911.
The first caller said Drummond was being chased by a vehicle speeding northbound on 208th Street in Queens Village.
Other callers said Drummond was trying to flee at Hollis Avenue and 208th Street.
When cops arrived at about 11:50 p.m. Monday, they found Drummond, his head and body crushed, in front of 104-37 208th St.
He was taken to Queens General Hospital, where he was declared dead at about 12:30 a.m. yesterday, sources said.
Payne, of Cambria Heights, was arrested and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
She told cops she became enraged during a fight with Drummond over another woman, although it was unclear if the love rival was a simultaneous or ex-girlfriend.
Drummond stormed out of the house, and Payne got into her car.
She insisted to cops that she never wanted to kill him, only frighten him.
She also said she was speeding to try to catch him, but he kept ducking between cars, the sources said.
Payne still lists herself as a Hofstra University student on her Facebook page, but actually dropped out in the fall of 2010, the school’s records show.
She also noted on Facebook that on March 18, she took a test to become a postal worker. One photo on her page is a close-up of her car keys.
Yesterday afternoon, her Facebook page was taken down.
Police sources said that there were no domestic-incident reports on the couple.
But Drummond’s next-door neighbor said the two were “fighting all the time.” He also described Drummond as “a really good guy.”
A tearful Payne bellowed uncontrollably in court yesterday as her lawyer described her allegedly abusive relationship with her boyfriend. She is being held in lieu of $250,000 bail.
“She was verbally and physically abused for years,” her friend said outside of court.
Payne has an arrest record in Virginia. The victim had arrests for dealing cocaine and turnstile jumping.
At Drummond’s home yesterday, his sister burst into tears when she identified the suspect on her Facebook page.
