A young mother was trying to get a taxi home after a night out celebrating her birthday when she was shot and killed outside a nightclub early Monday, New York City police and the victim’s family said.  Investigators believe the gunman, who hasn't been apprehended, intended to shoot a bouncer who asked him to leave Motivo nightclub hours earlier, a law-enforcement official said.  Walikque Faussett, a 24-year-old Bronx resident, was attempting to hail a cab when she was struck in the back outside of the Flatiron district club just after 4 a.m. She was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital Center.  “She was innocent. It wasn’t even meant for her. And that’s the crazy part,” said Ms. Faussett’s father, Walter. “We just hope the person gets caught in some sort of way.”  Ms. Faussett’s friend, a 25-year-old woman, was shot in the hip and foot and was listed in stable condition, police said. A 30-year-old woman was shot in the shoulder and was also in stable condition, police said.  Ms. Faussett, who went by the name Grace, was the mother of a 3-year-old son, Alexander, and worked at a retail store in White Plains, according to relatives.  Her family said she was at the club to celebrate her birthday, which was earlier this month.  Police said the shooter, a man in his 20s wearing a black-and-red hooded sweatshirt, got into a heated argument with a bouncer at the club earlier in the evening.  The suspect, who was known to at least one of the club’s promoters, left but threatened to come back with a gun, a law-enforcement official said.  When he returned, he fired several rounds before fleeing in a dark-colored vehicle, possibly a BMW, BMW -2.42 % authorities said. Five shell casings were found at the scene by investigators, the official said.  Investigators are now searching for the suspect, police said.  “We have to bury my baby,” said Ms. Faussett’s mother, Wendi Rodriguez, 41, who said she worries about explaining the death to her grandson. “Everyone loved her. There was not one bone in her body that was evil at all.”  Management for the club couldn’t be reached for comment.  Police were also investigating a fatal shooting Sunday night in Brooklyn.  The 31-year-old victim, Eric McKinney, was driving and stopped at a red light near the intersection of Ashland Place and DeKalb Avenue when the shooter ran up to the car and fired several rounds at about 10:36 p.m., police said.  The victim was taken to Brooklyn Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead, officials said.  Police haven’t identified a motive and are searching for the shooter, officials said.
New York City police don’t believe the women were the intended targets of the shooting near Motivo nightclub.
