A suspect accused of shooting a father of three to death in a Brooklyn subway station stalked and executed the victim over a twisted love triangle, prosecutors said.
Donald Haywood, 57, allegedly murdered 47-year-old Freddie Weston because the victim had moved in with the suspect’s estranged wife, prosecutors said at Haywood’s Brooklyn Criminal Court arraignment.
“She made me do it,” the accused killer told cops after his arrest, according to prosecutors — a statement that made the victim’s family members gasp in the courtroom Wednesday.
Weston was headed to work when he was shot Sept. 4 inside the Rockaway Ave. station for the C line in Brownsville.
Haywood followed Weston for blocks from the woman’s home before shooting him in the back of the head, prosecutors allege. Surveillance video shows him tailing Weston, entering the subway station then coming back out and changing clothes, according to prosecutors.
When cops confronted Haywood with surveillance images, he told them, “That looks like me. She made me do it. I’ll tell the rest to my attorney,” it was revealed at his arraignment.
