A 28-year-old woman has been charged with murder in a fatal Bed-Stuy hit-and-run.
Tiffany Cifuni, 32, was driving westbound on Van Buren Street when she was struck from behind by a 2016 Chevy Trax. Police had said Cifuni then exited her vehicle and walked toward the Chevy, as the driver of that vehicle struck her and continued to turn the wrong way into a one-way street. Cifuni was dragged.
Cifuni was three months pregnant, sources tell News 12.
“This was a shocking crime that claimed the life of an expectant mother," District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement. "This defendant is accused of stealing a car, using it to senselessly run down an innocent woman, then leaving her to die in the street. We will now seek justice for the victim and her grieving family and will hold the defendant fully accountable for this heartbreaking loss.”
