Authorities intercepted Zunilda Rosario, 48, at JFK Airport after her afternoon flight back from the Dominican Republic and cuffed her for killing Juan Deleon, the father of her child.
Deleon was found sprawled out in the building hallway, dead from a gunshot wound to the head and chest.
Deleon’s body was found with gunshot wounds to the head and chest, but Rosario had disappeared-she apparently left NY with her two daughters, eventually moving to Providence, Rhode Island.
Police say they have solved the 1990 murder of a Harlem teenager with the arrest of the victim’s former girlfriend when she got off a plane at Kennedy Airport.
Rosario then fled the city with her two daughters for a life on the lam.
The cold case was reopened after a witness came forward claiming to be at the murder scene. After that, cops reportedly interviewed other witnesses who also said she pulled the trigger.
