Bed-Stuy woman dies after coming to aid of neighbor
BY VERONIKA BELENKAYA DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

She stood up to an abusive teen who was beating his pregnant girlfriend - and paid with her life.
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.
"He jumped out in the hallway and he started shooting," she recalled. "We all just ran. My mom was coming behind me yelling: 'He shot me. I was shot.'"
Young's family says the shooter is still on the lam. The NYPD did not return calls for comment.
Young was rushed to Kings County Hospital. She fell into a coma a week later and eventually died - but not before telling the cops who shot her.
"She said that she wants him to go to jail. She wants him to pay for what he did to her," Monique Young said. "He took my mom away from me. She played a very big role in my life and her grandkids' life."
