A retired NYPD cop allegedly brutally shot and killed his criminal investigator wife because of the cost of Christmas, police sources claim. Tracey Young, 42, was shot seven times in her apartment in Queens, New York, on Saturday night – four times in the torso and three in the face. Her husband Clarence Cash, 49, pictured right, a retired Harlem cop, reportedly turned himself into a Manhattan precinct, saying: ‘I just shot my wife’.
Cash, 49, appeared to have some financial problems. The NY Times reports, “Mr. Cash has struggled with financial problems for more than a decade; court records show a federal tax lien, warrants from the state and civil judgments.” A source tells the Post, “The holidays are coming, and they didn’t have enough money.”
