The three men run away after the car comes to a stop in the middle of the street before it starts to drive away.
A man told it CBS News he heard about 20 shots and that it sounded like a 'semi-automatic' gun.
The unknown man had driven her to the 103rd precinct station in Queens after being shot six times himself.
Now Burgos' family, who leaves behind a four-year-old son, is desperate for answers.
“We want to know what the hell happened,” her aunt Clover Gallart said Gothamist at the family's apartment in Brooklyn.
'Why? Why is there still a child without its mother?' asked Gallart, who said she and her sister Sonia raised Burgos.
Burgos' sister Julia said she didn't know where her sister went that night or who she was with when she left her son after taking him for a movie, ice skating and pizza Tuesday night.
“She wanted her son to have the world,” Julia said. 'Zoos, aquariums, parks, everywhere. Everything he wanted to do. He had every bike that was outside.”
