NEW YORK (AP) — The ex-boyfriend of a New York City woman shot dead Wednesday as she pushed their infant daughter in a stroller has been arrested and charged with killing her.
Police said 22-year-old Isaac Argro was arrested Friday.
Slain mother Azsia Johnson’s family identified Argro as the baby’s father and said he routinely abused Johnson, beating her during her pregnancy and threatening to kill her.
Argro is charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said.
Information on a lawyer who could speak on his behalf was not immediately available.
Johnson was 20.
Her 3-month-old daughter was not hurt, but was taken to a hospital for medical evaluation.
