Armstrong was headed home from a late shift at her other job at an IHOP at about 5 a.m. when a masked gunman snuck up and blasted her in the back of the head at East 14th Street and Irving Place.
“When I heard the shot, I was like, ‘Oh sh*t.’It was like one loud bang . . . I heard one shot and then silence,” said Maximillian Stebelsky, 18, a neuroscience major who lives in a nearby NYU dorm.
“I never predicted something like this to happen, especially across the street from where I live.”
The motive for the slaying remained unknown, but the shooting of was not random, cops said.
Police Report
“The individual was targeted,” Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said Thursday. “We have a number of suspects that we’re looking at, but nothing we want to commit to right now. But I’m very comfortable saying it was not a random attack.”
The shooter and a woman, both dressed in black, were seen fleeing north, but the woman may have been a bystander running from the gunfire, sources said.
The tragedy comes after some hard luck for Armstrong, who had just been served divorce papers by her wife and moved out of the apartment they shared about a month ago.
