Jilted lover slays ex
in brutal Flatlands
murder-suicide
BY TODD MAISEL
A jilted man shot his ex-girlfriend
to death, and then shot her new boyfriend
in Flatlands on Sunday — before
turning the gun on himself in a
devastating murder-suicide, according
to police.
Darnell Solomon, 30, burst into the
victim’s Utica Avenue building near
Avenue M and allegedly shot 24-yearold
Jened Duncan in the head, and
shot boyfriend in the head and chest,
according to police.
The shooter — Duncan’s former
lover — then hit himself with a fatal
gunshot wound, cops said.
First responders rushed both Solomon
and Duncan to Kings County Hospital,
where doctors pronounced both
of them dead, cops said. Duncan’s current
boyfriend was taken to Brookdale
University Hospital for treatment in
stable condition.
While responding to the shooting,
an offi cer with the 63rd Precinct sustained
minor injuries after smashing
a glass window on a door with his
hand in an effort to enter the second
fl oor apartment — where they found
the two victims sprawled out on the
fl oor of the living room, according to
police.

Neighbors were in shock by the horrifi
c crime of passion as the victims
were wheeled to ambulances.
“She was just in my store buying
furniture,” said one man who declined
to be identifi ed. “She seemed nice
enough. I just can’t understand it.”
