Mom injured, daughter fatally shot in Queens

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Gunfire has killed a daughter and wounded a mother inside an apartment building in the Astoria section of Queens.

Guerino Annarumma left the 114th precinct in handcuffs, sources say, to help police find the gun that was used to shoot his estranged wife and to kill her daughter.

He is the lone suspect and police and neighbors say he has a history of violence and threats against his wife.

"We saw him drive, I ignored him," a neighbor said.

But the courts did not.

"This as the order of protection I have," said Helene Sherman, Olga Annarumma's divorce attorney.

Helene Sherman is Olga's divorce attorney.

There were two orders of protection issued against Guerino Annarumma regarding his wife.

. "She wanted nothing, she would just say 'he's crazy,'" Sherman said.

A neighbor threw a Piece of cardboard over the bloodstains left after 57-year-old Olga Borodina Annarumma, Guerino's estranged wife, and her daughter 25-year-old Valeria Kuzmina Lowery were shot at their home Monday morning.

Neighbors say Guerino Annarumma had a violent and contentious relationship with the two.

Guerino didn't hide his contempt or his intentions.

In several blogs, he ranted about the two: "God will make you pay," he wrote in one.

And in another, "Remember one thing. Whatever goes around comes around. One day it will come to you and your mother, I don't have nothing to lose," he wrote, "You are going to pay for whatever you did. I don't play no games," he wrote cryptically, "Good luck. Bye bye."

Suspect in daughter killing due in court

The San Diego Fugitive Task Force arrested Arthur Morgan III for allegedly killing his 2-year-old daughter in New Jersey. (U.S. Marshals)

  FREEHOLD, N.J. -- The New Jersey man charged with killing his 2-year-old daughter and leaving her in a park creek, still strapped into her car seat, is due in a New Jersey courtroom on Monday afternoon.

Arthur Morgan III was arrested last week in San Diego, and agreed to return to his home state to stand trial.

Morgan is charged with the murder of Tierra Morgan-Glover, whose body was found Nov. 22 in a creek in Wall Township.

He had picked the child up from her mother's house in Lakehurst, about 20 miles south of the park, but failed to return her, prompting her to call police.

Besides the murder charge, Morgan's also charged with custody violation and interstate flight to avoid apprehension.
