Police said a second teenager has been arrested in the murder of an innocent mother who was implicated in the firing of two feudal gangs in Queens.
19-year-old Benaya Reid was arrested on Thursday and charged with murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the case of 37-year-old Gudelia Vallinas’ bullet death.
On March 12, Vallinas, the mother of two young children, was shot in the head in a shootout during a gang fight outside Woodside Houses.
Sources said that one of the teens member was firing bullets inside the housing complex.
“I heard gunshots, like 5 or 6 gunshots. I hear someone shouting at a woman on the floor, ”Sakshi Zal Alaradai said at the time.
“And then I came out, and I saw that there was blood on the floor,” said the witness.
On April 1, another 19-year-old suspect, Dajuan Williams, was charged with Vallinas’ death.
Williams is similarly facing charges of murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
