The 51-year-old Ozone Park woman gunned down in her own home was a tarot card reader who cops believe was slain by a disgruntled customer who thought she was a “witch” who had cursed him, sources said.
Guiseppe Canzani, 41, who is facing murder charges in the broad-daylight shooting of 51-year-old Anna Torres on Wednesday, had gotten into a dispute with her outside the Queens home in recent days, the sources told The Post.
He told cops he shot Torres “because she was a witch” and that she had put a spell on him and cursed him, one source said.
“Yeah, that’s the woman I shot,” Canzani allegedly told detectives at the 106th Precinct stationhouse about one hour after the fatal shooting. “They tried to kill me.”
“If I tell you what’s going on with me, you wouldn’t believe it,” he allegedly said. “Not for nothing, I am supposed to be dead already, that’s all I know. This woman, you guys will never understand. You would think I’m crazy.”

The fortune teller that couldn’t see her end.
Good point.
Apparently they are being used at public school post prom activities.
I went to a real gypsy fortuneteller once with a friend. We were read by a young woman who seemed to be ‘in training’ by an older one.
One thing we found interesting was that they tended, at least back then, to ‘read’ you through the lens of their own cultural references. She told both of us we’d have five or six children. (Neither of us ever had one.)
She turned me into a newt (although I got better). They should check her weight against that of water fowl.
I'll have to admit the thought did occur...
So did my ex-wife but you still can't just shoot them.
“...call me now!”
Oops...
this reader was oerating from her own home, not a storefront.
that means the guy was refered to her.
We have one nearby (with the neon palm outside) who has been there for at least 40 years, and probably now a second generation. It’s a private home, and I gather that most people who go there just saw it from the road.
The gypsy I went to was in a small storefront with nothing to distinguish it. They would come into an area and rent a space, hand out their cards at shopping center parking lots, and wait for the calls.
That works better as a joke.
I searched and both newt and mute come up, so there's some confusion.
It’s like an x-files episode.
If he thought she was a witch, why did he become her customer?
Reminds me of some gypsy girl who wanted to read my palm when I was in Hawaii fifty three years ago.
She took my palm, put her other hand in it, then looked me in the eye and told my fortune and my past, never looking at my palm.
She was 100% WRONG! Then she tried to bless my money and take some of it. I just laughed and said “NO”.
She was a good looker that would rate the “Not Guilty” penalty.
(with the neon palm outside)
I remember one outside Roswell NM back fifty five years ago. It took a while but the cops busted her when she tried to convince a client his money was cursed and had to be burned.
She took his money, put it in a sack, the palmed it and replaced it with fake money which she started to burn when busted.
A common fortune telling scam back then, probably still is today.
I suppose a bad review in Yelp just wasn’t enough.
Its sad knowing where some people went to after death
What kind of Tarot card reader doesn’t see something like that coming?
