Son kills mom, two others, then self

The sister of a woman “afraid for her life” screamed at police and asked why they did not intervene to stop her nephew - whom she characterized as mentally ill - from apparently killing his mother and two others before taking his own life.
The mother, Sonia Taylor, allegedly called cops seven times on Tuesday, April 17 claiming that her 20-year-old son Sean was threatening her, according to her sister, Ann Taylor, 35.
“The police said they couldn’t do anything because he’s an adult,” said the sister, who only discovered the bloodbath in the home at 116-31 225th Street in Cambria Heights on Wednesday, April 18 because she was concerned after Sonia did not answer repeated phone calls.
According to police, three bodies were found downstairs in the two-story brick-faced home on the tree-lined, well-maintained street - Sonia, her unidentified male companion who was confined to a wheelchair, and an unidentified female home health aide.
The shooter was discovered upstairs along with a firearm. He apparently died of self-inflicted injuries.
The sister, visibly shaken and angry, seemed to know that Sonia was dead even before police confirmed it.
“She died? She died?” the sister shouted at cops on the scene. “Why didn’t you do this earlier?”
She claimed that the victim had told police, “I need help. This boy is going to kill me,” and that she had even contacted District Attorney Richard A. Brown - who visited the site - before the shooting.
“The Queens police would not respond,” she yelled, before berating officers with shouts of, “You wait until this happens. This is sad.”
Those who knew the apparent suspect said he was a “good kid,” however.
“Sean was a very good kid,” said a worker at Boston Jerk Palace and Restaurant around the corner from the scene of the murders. “I am really surprised.”
The worker went on to say that the shooter, who had visited family on the island of Jamaica last year, returned from his vacation noticeably different.
“He was always by himself [and withdrawn after the trip,]” said the employee.
Of Sonia Taylor, she said, “She was very hard-working woman.”
