A suspect surrendered Tuesday to face charges for the senseless fatal shove of an 87-year-old singing coach in Manhattan, cops said.

The beloved singing coach struck her head on the ground and suffered a traumatic brain injury. She died at Bellevue Hospital a few days later.

Her arraignment is pending in Manhattan Criminal Court .

Gustern coached Blondie singer Debbie Harry and a Broadway cast of “Oklahoma.” Before the attack, Gustern had several pals at her apartment to rehearse for an upcoming cabaret show, a friend told the Daily News.

“Her background in music theatre and opera was extraordinary, and it prepared her to take on the challenges of all of her students,” Gustern’s student Diamonda Galas wrote on Facebook. “She was for many, their New York mother, and she enjoyed being available to her students at all times. Many of us are in a state of rage as well as terrible grief. We want her murderer to be found before interest in this crime wanes.”

Well, she now has 20 years to think about what she did. Oh wait, this is NYC, where criminals are beloved and protected. All charges will be dropped this afternoon, I mean.

We already know about the poor lady who was killed.
The article says next to zero about this young woman who turned herself in. I guess the public will have to wait for more information.

"Oh wait, this is NYC, where criminals are beloved and protected. All charges will be dropped this afternoon, I mean."

It'll be that, or they'll allow her to plea to a lesser charge, because today, nobody ever does the time for the actual crime they committed. D.A.'s are lazy mo-fo's who should be held criminally responsible when one of the violent perps they let back on the street without bail, turns around and murders or maims another innocent person.

Looks like the local reportage has left a bit out. From accross The Pond...

Event planner, 26, charged with manslaughter for fatally shoving renowned Broadway vocal coach

Perp "shouted a derogatory term" at the vic before shoving her...?

Time served and probation. Just watch. The victim was very old and getting social security not likely to live much longer and also a burden on society. It’s not like the perp killed a young valuable person. The perp’s already suffered enough.... was turning her life around... showed true remorse... yada yada...

That’s a little more info.
Still nothing about motivation, or what the Pusher thought she was doing as she pushed.
I assumed this young lady was a former student of the deceased, and the Singing Coach told her that she couldn’t sing, dance or act, and would be better off looking for a nice Doctor to marry.
