Police in the US don’t investigate killings, they find a person they feel comfortable pinning it on, and hope the trial works in their favor. We really don’t know if this guy is the guy who shot someone, and NYPD has a long history of picking the wrong person to accuse based on their bias and not on facts or evidence. There’s every possibly he’s actually, in fact, innocent. So far all we’ve been told offically is largely circumstantial.
Also yes. Reddit is terrible at decided how crimes must have happened from an AP article with nothing but the main people’s names.
