Off-Duty Correction Officer’s Death Could Have Been A Planned Assassination

The investigation into the murder of an off-duty corrections officer in Georgetown is geared towards finding a contract killer, according to a report by the Daily News.

Alastasia Bryan, 25, was sitting in her brand new Infinity on East 73 Street and Avenue L when the shooter pulled up next to her and shot through her window five times. Police found a surveillance video that shows the assassin back his car into a parking spot and wait for Bryan. He sat there for about an hour. When Bryan got into her car, he pounced, according to a News source.

According to the anonymous source, investigators believe the contract was put out by an inmate at Rikers Island. However, Bryan had hardly any contact with any inmates at the jail, according to Corrections officials.

Sources told the News that Bryan didn’t have enough interactions with prisoners to make someone want to put a hit on her.

She did have an ongoing conflict with her ex-boyfriend, who threatened her life multiple times, according to the News. He has been arrested 31 times, and twice in May 2015 on domestic charges involving Bryan.

That month, Bryan was working security at Kingsborough Community College when her ex called to tell her that he’d be running her off the road when she left work, which he did try to do. He also told her he’d shoot up her house, have people watch her, and that he’d kill her if she told anyone about it, according to the News.

Bryan’s mother told police that he was furious with her after they recently broke up and Bryan asked him to return a car that she had leased for him.
