Crime scene inspector details a Stray bullet that hit a parked car in the Resorts World Casino parking lot after deadly shootout early Tuesday morning. Dalton Branch shot and killed his ex-girlfriend, Patricia Mohammed, after seeing her and her new borfriend in the parking lot at Resorts World Casino.

The brutal ambush murder of his helpless ex-girlfriend was just the start of spurned lover Dalton Branch’s sadistic last stand.
The unrepentant ex-con twice dialed victim Patsy Mohammed’s elderly aunt, taunting her about the point-blank shooting death. The insanely jealous Branch texted a vile message to Mohammed’s male friend, who barely escaped the gunfire outside Resorts World Casino in Queens.
The self-proclaimed “Grim Reaper” later opened fire on three police officers in the parking lot of a school in East New York, Brooklyn, where Branch died in a hail of 20 bullets. That was about 6 a.m. on Tuesday — just three hours after Mohammed was pronounced dead.
A weeping Rosemary Guilford, 75, recounted her chilling chat with the cold-blooded Branch after the phone rang in her home at 2:52 a.m.
“He said, ‘Go get your clothes and find the undertaker because I got her,’” Guilford told the Daily News hours after the slaying outside the South Ozone Park casino. “He told me that I should prepare myself to bury my niece.”
Branch, 51, a two-time convict who survived being shot by an NYPD cop in 1983, wasn’t done with the heartbroken senior citizen. Eight minutes later, he called back for a second hateful harangue.
“He told me, ‘I gave it to her good. She’s dead, so prepare yourself. And I could come and burn your house down,’” Guilford recalled. “I couldn’t say anything. What was I going to say? … He was a very brutal type of guy.”
The enraged Branch believed his former lover of 10 years was seeing a new man, and he went after the pair as they stood chatting in the casino parking lot, police said.
Mohammed, 55, was with a friend whom police sources identified as Kenneth Hickman, an off-duty casino shuttle bus driver who was once Branch’s supervisor. The two were speaking for about an hour when Branch attacked his ex-girlfriend and his former boss, police said.
The shooter drove a rented, white Dodge Charger at the pair and fired a shot.
As Hickman, 51, ran for his life, Mohammed tried to hide inside her car — but Branch shot her three times through one window, walked around to the other side and fired another shot into the car, said NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce.
Hickman, after barely escaping the gunfire, soon received a mocking text from the 300-pound killer.
“How you like that p—y now?” asked Branch. Hickman dialed 911 to identify Branch as the shooter, and the three-hour manhunt for the fugitive kicked into gear.
One of Branch’s relatives recounted an uncomfortable Monday meeting where the ex-con “snapped.”
“She kept pushing his buttons, and she pushed the last button,” said Eric Woodruff, 58. “He had a lot of tension built up. He exploded.”
Woodruff said the ex-con dialed him just 18 minutes after the 2:20 a.m. killing to admit pulling the trigger.
“I love you,” Branch told him. “I did it. I’m not going back to jail.”
Woodruff knew exactly what the message meant: “I expected it. … He was a loose cannon.”
Branch, during one of his calls to Guilford, vowed that he was “going out hard” — and proved good on his word, said Boyce.
“I think he started shooting immediately,” Boyce said.
The suspect and three cops were just 10 feet apart when the first shot was fired, and Branch wound up with 15 bullet holes. None of the officers were injured.
Branch’s handgun, an Italian-made .380-caliber Beretta, was cocked when recovered at the scene, police said.
The fatal showdown marked the second time Branch was shot by police. While still a teen in 1983, he was popped in the knee by cops after robbing a Queens couple and then pulling a gun on a police officer.
Daisy Carter, 76, who helped raise Branch as a kid and later took him in as an adult, was stunned by the murder of Mohammed — but not by the violent death of her surrogate son.
“It’s the way he wanted to go,” she said. “He said he wasn’t going back to jail.”
Mohammed was the mother of an adult daughter, Melissa Mohammed of New Orleans, and her ex-husband lives in Canarsie, Brooklyn, according to her uncle George Guilford.
She worked as a home health care aide until sidelined by an arm injury in a car crash last year. She broke things off with Branch last year.
Her family claimed the breakup was over his health issues, while his family said Mohammed was tired of Branch’s run-ins with the law. Either way, Branch never got over his failed relationship with the Trinidadian immigrant.
“He was a jealous, controlling person,” said George Guilford. “If she goes anywhere, he wanted to be there. She was a happy-go-lucky person.
“It’s crazy,” he continued. “We’ve got to make funeral arrangements now.”
Branch did two prison terms: from October 1983 to March 1986 for the Queens robbery and convictions for criminal use of a firearm and criminal possession of a weapon, and from September 2003 to May 2006 for another weapons charge.
During a May 2005 interview with the Parole Board, Branch said he was through with doing time.
“I’m nervous and scared and shaking just sitting here and talking to you,” he said, according to board transcripts. “I don’t want to go through this again.”
Last month at the casino, police arrested 22-year-old Jaquan Roberts, who was accused of firing shots in the parking lot after a brawl erupted inside.
