"There's too many of them," .... King Tut said as a SWAT team converged on his cab.




Detectives from Hackensack tracked Darnell Brittingham all the way from the Carolinas to a motel in Westchester, aiming to bring him in for leaving his ex-girlfriend near death last month.




As they pinned in the car, the cabbie hustled out.




Brittingham looked through the back windshield and saw the army of cops headed his way.




"There's too many of them," he told a woman who was with him. "There's too many cops.
"



Seconds later, a single shot rang out.




"We had heard he was telling people he wasn't going back to jail, that he wasn't going to be taken alive," Hackensack Detective Capt. Frank Lomia said this afternoon. "So the officers on the scene were extra careful.
"



After they dragged his corpse out, they noticed a change: Once covered in dreadlocks, "King Tut" had shaved his head.




"He lost all his dignity," an officer at the scene said.




The trouble began when Fort Lee police caught Brittingham, 23, with cocaine stuffed into a teddy bear during a traffic stop five weeks ago.




The 21-year-old Hackensack woman, who lived with Brittingham and her toddler son, said she dumped him when he came home after posting bond for the cocaine charge the night of Feb. 12.




"I can't have you around my son," she said she told him.




That night, she awoke to find Brittingham trying to suffocate her with a pillow, she told police.




She broke free, but Brittingham grabbed a knife and stabbed her several times. When he finally stopped, she played dead. But Brittingham headed toward the boy's room. So she chased him.




After stabbing her several more times, he took her car keys and bolted.




Subsequent news reports said Brittingham was staring at 12 to 21 years behind bars if convicted at a trial of aggravated assault. But authorities were considering upgrading the charges to attempted murder. Then you're talking a maximum of nearly 32 years.




Brittingham told the victim's family he dumped the car in Harlem. Five days after the stabbing, police found it in an impound yard at 125th Street and Lexington Avenue.




By then, police believe Brittingham had already reached the Carolinas.




Detectives from Hackensack immediately teamed up with their counterparts from Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C.




On Tuesday, March 17, a Raleigh detective called Lomia's unit and said investigators were "on his heels." Soon after, Brittingham boarded a plane and headed north.




Investigators pinpointed him through his cellphone to downtown White Plains and, then, to the La Quinta Inn on Saw Mill River Road in Greenburgh. Hackensack detectives headed there, along with a Greenburgh SWAT team.




As they arrived, Brittingham was getting into the cab with a woman he'd met during his journey, Lomia said. She had apparently rented the room.




The officers let the car get barely a quarter mile before they stopped it outside a self-storage facility. The driver hopped out immediately, the captain said.




Brittingham, meanwhile, pulled out a semi-automatic handgun -- possibly a 9mm -- and considered his options.




Witnesses at the scene confirmed the account to local media.




They said Brittingham at first crouched down, as if looking for something.




Then, as officers approached from behind, they saw him with the gun.




Brittingham told his companion to get out, police said, and she opened the door.




Then they heard the shot.
