SOUTH JAMAICA — A Queens woman who initially told police she flagged down a cab and took a fatal-gunshot victim to Jamaica Hospital is now considered a person of interest after her story changed several times, a police source said.
The woman, who police have not identified, initially told detectives she and her brother found the 38-year-old victim Tuesday morning lying outside a building near the corner of Sutphin Boulevard and 107th Avenue and assumed she had been beaten, the source said.
Around 10:40 a.m. officers arrived at Jamaica Hospital and were told the victim, identified as Harlem resident Sheryl Outerbridge, was pronounced dead after she arrived in a livery cab with a gunshot wound to the head.
Upon further questioning, however, the Queens woman’s story changed several times, and now she and her brother are being considered persons of interest as the investigation continues, the source said.
