This was just devastating to read about.
A man angry over what cops called a bisexual love triangle gunned down his ex-girlfriend and then shot her new lover on a Brooklyn street Wednesday.
Jeanette Martinez, 23, was getting ready to move out of the Boulevard Houses when her ex ran up and shot her twice in the head as she stood on the sidewalk near her car, friends and police sources said.
Martinez had filed an assault complaint against the gunman, who was not identified, just hours before the 1 p.m. incident, sources said.
“It was an execution, pure and simple. The woman didn’t stand a chance,” a police source said.
The gunman then chased Martinez’s girlfriend of seven months, Keila Ocasio, 19, across five lanes of traffic on Linden Blvd. into an oncoming SUV.
Here is the news clip of neighbor’s reactions to the murder:
This whole thing just makes my skin burn with anger and sorrow. Two young women, both Latinas, are dead because they were lovers and they were women and some man didn’t like either of those things. When will our communities feel that homophobia and woman hatred are important enough to discuss?

I saw this on my local news channel last night. Martinez had a child who now has no mother and Martinez died with an order of protection in her pocket. The local news isn’t covering the homophobic angle at all.
