An 18-year-old Brooklyn woman was beaten to death with a hammer following an ongoing dispute with her stepfather, police say.

The suspect, 53-year-old Jean Simon, fled the scene and led police on a dramatic chase that ended in a Queens cemetery, where police apprehended him after his car overturned.

Police investigating a homicide on 102nd Street began looking for Simon at about 2:45 p.m., and located his Mercedes traveling on Vermont Avenue off the Jackie Robinson Parkway in Queens.
