The case of Chelsea Frazier, the Southbridge mom who was shot to death in front of her baby son in the Bronx over the weekend, gets stranger and stranger. At first, it appeared to be a robbery as her fiancee, Carlos Cruz, fought with a man over a gold chain. Then it came out that she had broken up with the fiancee, and he may have wanted revenge, so police arrested him.
In the latest news, Frazier's ex-fiancee may have plotted the whole killing by hiring his own cousin, Devon Miller, to kill Frazier for $1,000. Only Miller was allegedly an armed bungler, and he didn't get the plan exactly right. From the Globe:
Cruz allegedly paid Miller $1,000 to fire the gun, with two bullets striking Frazier in the torso, The New York Times reported on its website yesterday. Miller then fled, prompting Cruz to chase after him yelling something like, "Hey, you forgot to shoot me," the Times reported. Miller then allegedly shot him in the leg.
Frazier's family members have been sharing details of Cruz' possible possessiveness. All charges alleged, as always, but if true this crime is both absurd and disgusting.
Cruz and Frazier's baby is now with Frazier's family in Massachusetts.
All charges alleged until proven under law.
