A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect’s unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.
Oof.
Different backpack.
Different style and colour of jacket.
A white man, in winter, wearing a hooded jacket in a neutral tone, with a basic backpack and a snood. And they tracked this man through NYC? Sure.
The police are hoping to pin this on a random guy and call it a day. Disgusting.
Also, THREE DAYS!? There is no evidence to suggest that this man is going to kill again. At this point he is not on a spree. No innocent bystanders were hurt. He committed a crime, but poses no apparent threat to the public. If only law enforcement put that much effort into every random NYC shooting, but we can’t all be shitstain CEOs I guess.
