http://www.nydailynews.com/video/?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=4093299&flvUri=&thirdpartymrssurl=A jealous husband who thought his wife was cheating shot her twice in front of horrified onlookers on a busy Brooklyn street Tuesday, police and witnesses said.
Kaidan Ramsey, 22, desperately tried to escape her enraged husband, Lenox Ramsey, 25, after he followed her onto the campus at Medgar Evers College. He then chased her down Carroll St., grabbing her arm and screaming, "I got a gun, don't f--- with me!" witnesses said.
Kaidan Ramsey, who had moved out of the couple's home three days earlier, tried to flee, but her husband would not let go of her wrist, witnesses said.
"He threw her into the street," said Lunn Beaubrun, a substitute teacher who was sitting in her parked car across the street from the confrontation.
"She's screaming and gets up, runs to our car and grabs our door," said Beaubrun, 38. "She's just screaming and holding onto the door."
A crowd of onlookers gathered to gape at the fight, though no one immediately tried to intervene, witnesses said.
"He was very angry, [and] he yelled at her, 'You've got to come with me now!'" said Nasser Ahmed, owner of the nearby Crown Heights Deli and Grocery.
"We didn't think he was going to do something crazy," Ahmed said. "We didn't know he had a gun."
Fearing for her life, Kaidan Ramsey desperately clutched at Beaubrun's silver Lincoln Town Car, only to be pulled away by her husband.
She then tried to grab onto the back of a passing livery cab, but the car sped off, causing the couple to tumble to the concrete in the middle of the Crown Heights street, witnesses said.
"She went to try to get into the taxi, but he didn't want to stop," said Ahmed. "He ran the red light, and they fell off."
As Kaidan tried to push off her husband, two onlookers tried to break up the fight - only to back off when Lenox Ramsey reached into the bag he was carrying.
"He pulls out a gun," said Beaubrun. "[His wife] screams, 'He has a gun, he has a gun!' and then he just starts shooting."
"I saw him shoot her," said a shaken Beaubrun. "We took off. I looked back, and she's just laying on the ground."
Lenox Ramsey fired a pair of warning shots in the air to scatter the crowd and then fired at his wife, hitting her twice in the back, police said.
One good Samaritan jumped out of his car to help Kaidan Ramsey as she bled on the sidewalk, while another called 911, police said.
She was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, police said. She is expected to survive.
Lenox Ramsey ran to the corner of Nostrand Ave. and tried to carjack a passing vehicle, police said. But the driver refused to get out, and Ramsey was arrested moments later.
Charges against him were pending last night. He told detectives that he was convinced his wife was having an affair with a fellow Medgar Evers student, police sources said.
Neighbors in the couple's Brownsville apartment building said Lenox, a security guard, frequently fought with his wife and fellow residents.
"Oh, my God, he shot Kadi," said one man who would not give his name. "She doesn't deserve this."
