Queens woman gunned down lover before lighting the body on fire in front of her kids

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Queens woman sporting nine fake fingernails told cops she wasn’t with her boyfriend when he was shot to death in his left side early Saturday. But the lie fell apart — leading to her arrest Monday — when a sharp-eyed detective noticed her one naked digit.

“On his body we find a fingernail and we noticed that when we talk to his girlfriend she’s missing a fingernail,” Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said. “We take her back into custody, we start speaking to her, and she makes admissions she actually killed him.”

After the murder, police say Dawn McIntosh, 46, of Long Island City, enlisted the help of her son and daughter to carry Sh-Ron McWhorter’s body to a car. He was too heavy, so McIntosh tried to burn the victim’s body to mask the crime. The mom was charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon and tampering with physical evidence.

Firefighters doused the blaze, but the 43-year-old Brooklyn man couldn’t be saved. Police identified McWhorter by the “Sugar Sha” tattoo on his left arm, sources said.

McWhorter’s heartbroken mom called McIntosh “a stalker” and said her son wanted nothing to do with the accused killer. Wiping away tears, she said she turned 67 on Monday and her son always remembered her birthday.'
