Brazen Midtown NYC Killing In Broad Daylight
12-13-2012, 08:48 PM
I'm very familiar with this area near the Time Warner building (Columbus Circle). Hung out with RVF member Eros International there once and grabbed lunch at the Whole Foods there. The killer has to be a professional.

The target came down West 58th Street, toward Broadway, his eyes focused on a smartphone in that familiar modern pose. He appeared for a second to glimpse his hooded assailant, the police said, but, not recognizing him, turned around again.
The gunman then fired a bullet into the back of the victim’s head and, without apparent urgency or panic, stepped into a waiting car to blend into the midday traffic near Columbus Circle.

That's weird, someone just emailed this to me today to get my thoughts.
Rich LA kid involved in nightlife.
This kind of sh*t happens periodically.
Nightlife has an ugly underbelly.
Always has, always will.

Its crazy that this happened in broad daylight especially in a city like NYC that has really curtailed gun crime. I saw this yesterday and apparently the dude killed had 20 prior arrests including a lot of drug offenses. I think the authorities are working that angle and they said that its most likely drug related. Even more crazy was the fact that dude was a law student.

20 arrests and not in the slammer? The guy is probably a snitch

To be fair, NYC has one of the lowest murder/gun violence rates in the US.

It's insane that someone can be assassinated just like that in the most public place in the world during broad daylight. WTF. Car bombs, I'd understand. Knifing at night, poison, elevator killing... but this? WTF.

Remarkable! I'm sure Bloomberg is going to make this one major manhunt.
