A 21-year-old Hofstra dropout who was charged with fatally mowing down her boyfriend on a Queens street was in a jealous rage over another woman, a law enforcement source said today.
Kaman Drummond, 26, ran for his life, ducking behind cars as crazed driver Dunasha Payne, 21, chased him down in her 1994 Honda accord yesterday night.
Neighbors heard his cries for help and called 911, but by the time cops arrived around 11:50 p.m. Drummond had been struck and lay dying in the street at 208th Street and 109th Avenue in Queens Village, just blocks from where he lived, cops said. Payne was arrested at the crime scene.
Payne was scheduled to graduate next year before dropping out. She also has a photo displaying a close up of her car keys. She writes on her profile that she works for the Jewish Board of Family & Child Services. She also noted on her Facebook page that on March 18, she took a test to become a postal worker.
Police sources said that there were no domestic incidents reports on the couple. But Drummond’s next door neighbor said the pair were “fighting all the time. They were fighting yesterday. He was in the back yard and she came over in the afternoon. They started hollering and he left. He went down the side street and she was following after him. Down the alley. Tailing him.”
Payne has an arrest in Virginia, and Drummond has arrests for dealing cocaine and turnstile jumping.
Authorities charged her with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon, and is awaiting arraignment.
