The hit-and-run driver who said the police were mowing down and dragged a pregnant woman who went home from a Beyoncé concert, was failed from murder attacks, Cops said on Wednesday, while the mourning husband of the victim hit the motorist like a “coward” and a “monster”.
Chaquasia Pigford, 28, is confronted with a laundry list with a charges-including second-degree murder, manslaughter, reckless driving, driving without a driver’s license and leaving a deadly accident-for-alleged rams in the 32-year-old Tiffany Cifuni the night of May 24 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, COOLS said.
Pigford was ordered without a bail by Judge Dena E. Douglas during her Wednesday afternoon, attended by about 10 family members of the killed mother, including her husband, James Cifuni.
“She is a coward,” the tearing husband could be heard during the procedure. “She’s a monster.”
The father -in -law of Tiffany, Nick Cifuni, a lawyer in the private practice who previously worked for the NYPD, said reporters that the family ‘happily happened today’.
“We are faltering the day [Tiffany] Was killed, “he said.” We will not rest until it is over and we get justice for Tiffany.
“I don’t want to say anything to disturb the proof of the case.”
Cifuni who, according to the prosecutors, was 12 weeks pregnant on the way home of the Beyoncé concert at Metlife Stadium The night she was killed, her deep-sad parents Wabc told At the time of the tragedy.
While on the way, Cifuni, who rode in a Toyota 4runner from 2021, in the back of Pigford, who rode Chevy Trax on Lewis Avenue in a stolen 2016, said the police and prosecutors.
Cifuni followed Pigford about two blocks before the Chevy driver finally stopped at Van Buren Street and Marcus Garvey Boulevard, said Assistant Officer of Justice Tara Kelly.
Cifuni got out of her car and walked to the ride of Pigford – but Pigford “refused to roll her window or speak with Tiffany,” said Kelly.
“At that time, the suspect first pressed light on the gas, so that the vehicle touched Mrs. Cifuni briefly,” said Kelly. “Tiffany jumped back and put her hands on the hood.”
“When a passer -by walked through the street, Tiffany shouted and asked him to take a picture of the suspect’s license plate,” she added. “At that time, the suspect flew the gas, who immediately hit Tiffany, so that her body was placed under the vehicle.”
Pigford then made an illegal judge in oncoming traffic on Marcus Garvey Boulevard, Kelly said.
Pigford did not rode a manhole that the body of Cifuni had been detached, according to the public prosecutor.
But the rampage of the driver was not ready-the police said that the Chevy hit a parked Volkswagen SUV while he tried to get away, and then hit a 38-year-old woman behind the wheel in a Jeep Grand Cherokee from 2024.
“The only reason why the suspect stopped driving was because she blew both front,” said Kelly. “She then left the stolen car and fled the stage on foot.”
The crazy driver then got out and fled on foot and left the Chevy, who had temporary signs.
Pigford fled to South Carolina, where she has family members, and was recorded when she returned to Brooklyn on Tuesday at the end of Tuesday, according to Kelly.
Cifuni’s parents -in -law told WABC that Cifuni had shared the news only two weeks before her tragic death that she and James, who lived on Long Island, expected their first child.
Before the preliminary guide, Pigford – who lives on less than a mile of the scene – denied any responsibility for the crash as detectives her from the 81st Precinct Stationhouse.
“It wasn’t me, it was the person who owns the car,” she told reporters.
Her lawyer, John Signoriello, repeated his client’s denial and tried to insist for $ 10,000 bail because his client has strong community ties, lives with her mother and works as a home health assistance.
Pigford, who wore glasses, a navy blue hoodie and black leggings, held her hood over her head during the procedure.
Her next court performance is scheduled for July 30.
