The NYPD has collared the suspected shooter behind Monday’s killing of a 61-year-old Bronx woman — who was fatally struck by a bullet earlier this week after getting caught in the crossfire of a gambling dispute, police sources said.

Donald Johnson, 20, was arrested Friday on pending charges, along with an alleged accomplice, 33-year-old Rakell Hampton, sources said. It wasn’t immediately clear what the 33-year-old’s role was in the shooting.

Johnson is believed to have pulled the trigger on the firearm that killed Juana Esperanza Soriano De-Perdomo, who was walking alone around 7 p.m. Monday by a deli on East 188th Street between Creston Avenue and Grand Concourse, sources said.
