Who Is The Worst Person Ever?

How about the person who kicks his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach and then murders a good samaritan:

Detra Young, 51, died earlier this week — two weeks after the vengeful 17-year-old shot her five times inside the Tompkins Houses hallway in Bedford-Stuyvesant, said devastated family members.

“You won’t get away with it,” Young told her shooter, whose first name is Charles, according her daughter Monique Young, 32, as the teen then unleashed a hail of gunfire.

“You f—ing b—h,” he said coldly, pressing the trigger, according to the daughter.

“I don’t know what monster he is that he would shoot an unarmed woman five times,” said Young’s heartbroken sister Roslyn Wright.

Last November, Young, a mother of four and grandmother of five, stepped up to protect her young, pregnant neighbor who was getting kicked in the stomach by her teenage boyfriend.

Cops arrested the violent teen. He was in jail until Memorial Day weekend — and threatening Young from prison, Wright said. “He was sending threatening messages to my sister through his girlfriend,” she said.

Three days after the youth was released from jail, his mother and his girlfriend’s uncle showed up at Young’s door in hopes of resolving their differences.

An argument began and as it escalated, Young, her daughter, her two sons and her son’s friend stepped out into the hallway. That’s when Charles appeared out of nowhere with a gun, Monique Young said.
