The ex-con vagrant whose alleged savage beating of a Queens mom at a subway station shook the city last year has been indicted on murder charges in the death of his Bronx girlfriend, The Post has learned.
Waheed Foster, 42, pleaded not guilty when he was hauled into Bronx Supreme Court earlier this month on allegations he strangled Jessica Miller to death on Aug. 6, 2022, according to sources and court records.
Miller, 40, was found unconscious in an apartment about a block from her home in Morris Park by cops responding to a 911 call. Her death was later ruled a homicide, with the city Medical Examiner’s Office determining that she was strangled.
Foster — who has been locked up since his September arrest in the chilling transit attack — was indicted in December on murder and manslaughter charges in Miller’s death, but only appeared in court April 10 when the indictment was unsealed.
The violent vagrant faces attempted murder and assault charges in the unprovoked beating of Elizabeth Gomes, 33, at the Howard Beach subway station on Sept. 20.
Gomes told The Post she was beaten so brutally by the unhinged career criminal that she feared she would lose sight in her right eye.
“We’re going through a lot here,” the married mom said after the caught-on-video attack. “I remember hearing that they would have cops posted on platforms, riding on trains, cops down in a subway… There was no one.”
Gomes was on her way to her job at JFK International Airport shortly after 5 a.m. when Foster allegedly pounced on her, throwing her into the wall, and punching and kicking her into unconsciousness.
Foster was indicted in that case on Sept. 30 and brought into court on a warrant the following month.
He is currently undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, according to sources.
Foster’s criminal record dates to the mid-1990s, when he was charged with beating his grandmother to death at 14, law enforcement sources said.
The elderly victim, Ariela Mascha, suffered 20 broken ribs, a stab wound to her leg and a punctured liver during the fatal attack — which sources said was over money.
Foster was living with his grandmother at the time and confessed to killing her days after the fatal encounter, when he was confronted by detectives about inconsistencies in his story, Newsday reported in 1995.
He was convicted as a juvenile but it is unclear how long he spent behind bars.
Foster was on parole in a separate case at the time of the merciless attack on Gomez.
He was released from prison in 2021 after a 12-year sentence on the assault charge in Queens and was on parole through Nov. 1, 2024.
While under post-release supervision Foster was arrested twice for misdemeanors on Aug. 21 and then again for a parole violation on Sept. 8 — but released without bail, leaving him free to allegedly attack Gomes, The Post previously reported.
Foster is due back in Queens court on May 1 in the assault case. His next court date in the Bronx slaying is June 14.
