The young mom who was shot and killed while pushing her 3-month-old baby in a stroller on the Upper East Side was a domestic violence victim — and cops are looking to speak with the child’s father in connection with the slaying, family and law enforcement sources said Thursday.
The victim, identified by her mother as 20-year-old Azsia Johnson, texted relatives that she had been planning on meeting her infant’s dad on Wednesday night, according to the sources.
“She was targeted. It was a close head shot and there were powder burns,” a high-ranking police source said.
Johnson had been assaulted by her ex-boyfriend in Jamaica, Queens, about six months ago while six months pregnant with his child, her heartbroken mom, Lisa Desort, told The Post.
Following the altercation, Desort said, the ex-boyfriend continued “stalking” and harassing her daughter. They called police for help, but he was not arrested, she claimed.
