Woman Fatally Runs Over Bicyclist Boyfriend With SUV

A love triangle turned deadly when a woman ran over a boyfriend with her SUV in Brooklyn. Twenty-five-year-old Janine Harrington turned herself into the police for running over Jeffrey Moore, whose child Harrington is pregnant with, according to Moore's relatives. A witness said Harrington hit Moore with a Nissan Pathfinder near the Chauncey Street and Rockaway Avenue early yesterday morning. Then she ran over him and backed up to drive over Moore again.

A neighbor who saw Harrington trying to remove the bike from the SUV told the Daily News, "I told her to leave the bike. And I asked what happened. She said, 'I hit someone!' I said, 'Wait a minute, let me call the police.' She said, 'No, I gotta go!'" And the Post reports that other witnesses told her to stay. Harrington drove home, and reportedly her live-in boyfriend called the police on her before she went to the precinct to turn herself in.

Harrington was charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon (the SUV). Moore's sister, Jade Oliver, told the Post that Harrington thought Moore had cheated on her and had tried to run him over before: "She comes down a one-way street on the sidewalk to murder somebody. This ain't the first time. So she finally succeeded." Oliver added to the News, "I told [my brother] to leave that woman alone. You don't need to be with her. She already had a man!"

Wholly Caw you nead a copee editer

Ending a sentence with a preposition? For shame!

How long before the resident big mouth posters say this guy would be alive if the woman were driving a Prius instead of an SUV?

Pretty funny, #3. Priuses don't kill people, Escalades kill people.

Criminal possession of a deadly SUV. Just amazing. I've always sort of thought SUVs were deadly.

Just remember folks, "Hell hath no fury . . ."

Well its not that bad, guy is getting a free ride now on the child. he doesn't need to pay any child support.

other wise if he was alive he gotta pay!

Lemme see if I got this straight. She cheats on her boyfriend and gets pregnant by another guy. She then kills that guy because she suspects he is cheating on her? Did I understand that correctly?

Cars don't kill people. People with cars kill people.

: )

I am waiting for the SUV lobby to say, "SUVs don't kill people, people kill people." Or perhaps some SUV driver will hold a gas pump nozzle over their head saying, "From my cold, dead hands!"

Because when you get hit by a Prius running a stop sign at 35 mph, massive internal bleeding and head trauma don't happen.

But hey, you're such a better person because you're only putting out 60% of the CO2 as a regular car. I'm sure the polar bears will be happy they'll be extinct in 2040 instead of 2035.

All the polar bears are already gone. They use old footage for all those dopey shows about saving the environment.
