Queens Man Charged In Fatal Shooting




A Queens man has been arrested in connection with a shooting that left a woman dead and her teenage son wounded.

Investigators say Malik Wallace, 20, was taken into custody Monday.

He's charged with murder, assault, and criminal weapons possession.

Police found Christina Coleman, 39, dead in a car in Flushing Saturday after her 18-year-old son told officers she had been shot.

The son was shot in the chest and is recovering.



Police do not believe Coleman was the intended target.

Investigators are still looking to question two other men, Lerome Robinson, 21, and Mark Coleman, 22.

It is not clear if the Colemans are related.

Anyone with information about their whereabouts is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going toNYPDCrimeStoppers.com.
