NYPD DAILY BLOTTER
QUEENS
* NYPD detectives flew to North Carolina yesterday to bring back a suspect on charges of fatally shooting another man in a dispute over a woman on New Year’s Day. Authorities said Timothy Pelsey, 33, accosted Gregory Frazier, 28, at the corner of 102nd Avenue and 118th Street in Ozone Park, pulled a gun and shot him in the neck and torso just after midnight. Pelsey then fled to North Carolina. Members of the 103rd Precinct Detective squad traced his whereabouts to Robeson County, N.C. About a month ago, NYPD detectives and a SWAT team from Robeson’s Sheriff’s Office swooped down on the home of a Pelsey relative and arrested the alleged shooter. He had been fighting extradition since his arrest, while being held as a fugitive. Finally, Gov. Pataki’s office signed an extradition warrant to bring Pelsey back to stand trial for Frazier’s murder.
