Just two hours before a gunman in camouflage executed a Queens laundromat worker in front of the victim’s mother, the doomed employee got into a heated argument with a threatening customer demanding free detergent, the shell-shocked mom told the Daily News. Now victim Dominick Lowery’s mother wo nders if that customer came back to kill her son. The gunman was dressed in head-to-toe camouflage and neither the mother nor cops know if he’s the same man who menaced the victim earlier Saturday morning. Witnessing her 31-year-old son’s shock slaying has left Selena Samuel inconsolable. “I fainted and everything. It’s just too much,” she said. “There’s no coming back from this.” No arrests have been made in the 8:40 a.m. Saturday shooting at Wash Fold Super Laundry at the Conduit Plaza shopping strip near Springfield Blvd. and 144th Ave. in Laurelton. “Y’all gon’ get got!’ the customer yelled, even flashing a knife, prompting Samuel, 57, who also worked at the laundromat, to call 911 early Saturday. “By the time the cops got there, he was gone already,” said Samuel. Samuel had just finished her shift and was sitting in her car while her son was inside waiting to receive his paycheck when she heard the crack of a gunshot. Her son was shot in the temple as he left the laundromat. Theodore Parisienne / New York Daily NewsPolice investigate the fatal shooting of Dominick Lowery outside a Queens laundromat on Saturday. (Theodore Parisienne / New York Daily News) Samuel described to The News the hours leading up to her son’s murder and her attempt to chase down his killer. Her son started working with her at the laundromat to help her out after complications from a colonoscopy left her weakened. He worked maintenance at the laundromat. “He just focused on going to work and coming home,” she said. “He wasn’t out there, he ain’t causing no trouble. FacebookDominick Lowery. (Facebook) The laundromat has its share of unruly customers, “but they go about their business and we go about our business,” she said. But Saturday was different, she said. Early that morning, a customer she did not recognize walked in and started a wash. He asked one of the Spanish-speaking workers for free liquid detergent, then tried to snatch the jug from her hands. Samuel intervened to explain the laundromat doesn’t give out soap for free. “He said, ‘B—, who are you? You don’t even work here!’” she recounted. “I’m here for three years,” she says she responded. “Maybe you haven’t seen me, but I work there.” Then she called Lowery over to help her. “I said, ‘Dominick, please explain to this man who I am and I work here.'” “So they got into a little altercation because he kept calling me a b—-,” she said. At one point, the man flashed a knife, and Lowery asked him to take it outside, she said. The enraged customer left, yelling, “‘Y’all gon’ get got!’” Samuel called 911, and police who responded told her to call them if he came back to start more trouble, she said. The man came back to quietly finish his laundry and left, she said.

You sure you’re OK? He said, ‘Yeah, mom. I’m waiting for my check.’” She got into in her car with her boyfriend, planning to grab breakfast at a nearby IHOP. Then her world fell apart. “We heard a pop,” she said. “We figured it was somebody that hit a car.” Then she saw her boss running outside frantically, she said. “That’s when I jumped out the car. I went and tried to chase the guy (in camouflage) and then I seen my son on the ground so I had to stop and go back to my son,” Samuel said. “He shot him in the head, in the temple. … My son was holding the door for somebody else, and I think he came out the store and turned and shot him and then he ran.” Medics rushed Lowery to Jamiaca Hospital, where he later died.

(Theodore Parisienne / New York Daily News) Lowery was the second oldest of her five sons and had no children or romantic partner, his mother said. He lived with his mother in St. Albans, about a mile-and-a-half from the laundromat. “He was funny. He had respect. He was different,” she said. “I’m not going back to work anymore. That’s it for me. I can’t go to work and have a positive mind knowing my child got shot right in front of that place.” As for the killer, she said, she’s hoping for justice.
