B’KLYN GAL FLEES KILLER AS BEAU IS SHOT DEAD

As his girlfriend cowered inside a locked bathroom, a man was shot dead in Bedford-Stuyvesant early yesterday in a feud over money, police sources said.

The victim, Luc Saintine, 39, answered a knock at a third-floor apartment at 897 Greene Ave. at about 4:40 a.m.

He and his unidentified assailant began arguing, and the thug shot him three times in the head, shoulder and neck, the sources said.

During or immediately after the confrontation, the victim’s girlfriend locked herself in the bathroom.

The gunman fled, and Saintine was declared dead at the scene.

Another police source said the Saintine may have known the gunman because the shooting appeared to be connected to a personal dispute.
