It was the final boot out the door by his disgusted girlfriend that triggered a furious gunman to go on a fatal carjacking rampage in Brooklyn.
“He told me he couldn’t live without me,” said a trembling Deisha Bennett, 21, at her President Street apartment, where seething suitor Victor Gordon, 23, came knocking Saturday morning and left an ominous calling card – bullets sprayed into her door – before hijacking a car and dying in a battle with cops.
“We had an argument the previous night. He was accusing me of cheating on him,” said Bennett, the mother of Gordon’s 2-year-old daughter, Deinycia.
Bennett, clad yesterday in a T-shirt that read “Feeling Single,” recalled Gordon’s early-morning phone call Saturday to patch things up.
“I didn’t want to talk because I had already broke up with him,” she said. “I said, ‘Victor, leave me alone.’ I hung up and went back to sleep. Ninety minutes later, I heard some loud knocking on my door. I knew it was him. I was about to open the door when I heard what I thought were firecrackers.”
The sound was bullets being pumped into her door. Gordon left and proceeded to carjack a Dodge Charger.
Vance McClendon, who was in the Dodge with his 5-year-old daughter in the back seat, recalled: “All of a sudden, he opened my door, put the gun to my chest and said, ‘Get out of the damn car.’
“I said, ‘OK, OK. But I got my daughter, let me get my daughter.’ ”
In a moment of apparent mercy amid his madness, Gordon relented, saying, “Get your damn daughter and get out,” according to McClendon.
The booze-swilling ex-con then hopped into the car, but crashed it into an empty bodega a few blocks away.
He next tried to take over a Nissan Maxima. When that failed, he set his sights on a gold Jeep Cherokee at a red light at Albany and Pacific streets.
“The guy comes out of nowhere. You could see the gun as clear as day,” said driver Ronald Miles, 54, a retired postal worker.
“That’s when I put my arm up. Pow! He fired once,” said Miles, who was shot in the arm and spent yesterday recuperating at Kings County Hospital.
Gordon next commandeered a Lincoln Town Car, but crashed it into a pole in Crown Heights.
When cops arrived at the scene, a hell-bent Gordon wailed, “F- – – you!” as he exchanged gunfire with them.
The gun battle continued even after Gordon rolled out of the car and onto the pavement, where he fired underneath patrol cars at officers, authorities said.
Police sources have said cops fired as many as 90 of the 130 shots fired.
