Death in NYC


Husband’s chilling warning before wife fatally shot by teen, accomplice in NYC mugging: ‘They have a gun’

“Stay back, they have a gun” — that’s what a desperate Manhattan man told his family just moments before his wife was shot point blank in the head by a teen mugger and his pal in a botched robbery, new court papers reveal.

The heartbreaking details about 57-year-old Ying Zhu Liu’s tragic slaying inside her Two Bridges apartment building earlier this month were laid out in a criminal complaint charging a 16-year-old boy with murder in her shooting death.

The teen, Dante Schaller, and a still-at-large accomplice followed Liu’s husband, Shen Yan, 61, into the Market Street condo’s elevator around 10:50 p.m. on Sept. 9 and pulled a handgun on him, according to police.

The hoodie was found by investigators inside the teen’s home on East 167th Street, as was one live 9mm round, authorities said.

Police also said they recovered a 9mm shell from a step in the stairwell and found a bullet fragment inside the hallway of the victims’ building.
