Malik Wallace, 20 and Lerome Robinson, 21, were arrested in connection with the murder of 39-year-old Christina Colman, of Jewel Avenue, and the shooting of her 18-year-old son.

Colman’s son, Hassan Gil, who was shot in the chest, walked to a police station on July 2 at shortly before 6 p.m., and was able to report the crime.

Christina Colman was found dead in her car outside of her Jewel Avenue home.

Wallace, who was not listed in the original police release, and lives on Parsons Boulevard, was charged with murder, attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

Robinson, whose address is listed as Jewel Avenue, was also charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, in a release, said he was extremely disturbed by the incident.

“In another unfortunate example of the senseless gun violence that more and more seems to permeate our society, the defendant and another unapprehended individual are accused of walking up to the vehicle on either side and then opening fire at the two defenseless occupants, fatally striking one victim in the head and the other in the chest,” Brown said. “The charges will be vigorously prosecuted.”

Gil is recovering from his wound at a Queens hospital.
