Lets see how many of the following turn out to be true:
Radicalized at an Ivy League University
Anti-Israel demonstrator
Supports destroying priceless works of art with red paint
Took part in post George Floyd riots
Has a hit list that includes oil company CEO's

Latest news flash is NYPD detectives now believe the shooter has left town. Gee, you think? Now working on finding if there is DNA evidence from the cell phone and water bottle.
If you can figure out what the meaning of "is" is, then you should be able to figure out what the meaning of "positive" is.
Do you actually think murder is OK?

Does this mean NYPD has checked every dumpster in town?

If my geography is correct, there are two rivers in New York.
So....
All the gamblers out there-
Caught or not caught?
If caught, how many days?

Seems the victim was part of a selling off of millions in UHC stock. Reasonable thought is he was " offed" so he would not " implicate" someone. Follow the $$$.
As for using a Welrod, yea, right. They are in very few museums and maybe some unopened OSS drop containers buried in Europe?

If you are talking NYC not NYS……..
Off the top of my head, the East River, Hudson River, Harlem River, those surround "The City" aka Manhattan.
Then you have the Bronx River in The Bronx, but we never referred to The Bronx as The City.
Don't know about the other boroughs.
They may have said that because they believe he is still in NY to make him feel safe staying in NY.
That a Welrod was used is just laughable. But there are other such locked breach, suppressed pistols out there IIRC, the Soviets produced a version of the Makerov like this. But still hard to find and expensive from a dealer, with paperwork.

The "hit man" stereotype is an invention of movies and TV. There isn't a shadowy network of well-dressed assassins who hang out and wait for a mysterious assignment via an encrypted laptop and then are paid by a secure deposit to an unassailable bank account.
I've worked several murder-for-hire schemes. The hit man is always either an undercover cop or a criminal acquaintance who takes the up front money and trades the info to the cops for some help on pending charges.
I caught one guy who had warrants for three different murders and who we ultimately figured did five murders, all drug related. He was just a skeezy drug dealer who didn't mind killing people. No one really cared until he chased a guy into a back yard and mistakenly killed a lookalike who lived there, while the lucky would be victim scampered off, no doubt to completely turn his life around.
Woody Harrelson's dad claimed to be a hit man, and did kill a federal judge for some drug dealers who thought they might fare better at sentencing from any judge except "Maximum John" Wood. They were probably hoping to get "Boys Will Be Boys Bob". Harrelson was caught, squealed, and died in prison.
Of course, the response is "you don't catch the real ones!, or they make it look like an accident!"
Think about it. How long a career would an actual hit man have?
I have a good friend in the CIA. He roars with laughter at the hit man stuff, and says - let 'em keep thinking that! Which of course, you will.

I think anyone who has received payment to commit murder is a professional by definition. BUT that doesn't make them good at what they do. This guy was a putz. Pictures, DNA, Phone, Did I mention pictures???? If someone paid this guy I hope they had a coupon.

LBJ allegedly had a personal hitman named Mack Wallace on his payroll who was very skilled in creating what passed as being fatal accidents.

Hear, hear! Folks probably need to back off the 'Kill Bill' and 'John Wick' kinds of shows.
If you'd like a real case, read this - Buchanan v. Snedeker, No. Civ. 03-1231 JP/RHS | Casetext Search + Citator .
This was an unsolved disappearance near Deming, NM, until one of the hitmen had a conscience attack, called my criminal agent, who worked with the FBI to get all of the facts and recover the buried, rotted carcass of Darrett McCauley, who had been murdered. Scroll down to 'Discussion' for a factual view of how drug trafficking cartel 'hitmen' actually work. Hint: it doesn't involve nice suits nor does it involve Japanese swords.
Ignore the first couple of paragraphs of legalese and scroll down to 'Discussion' to see what actually happened.

Mostly agree, but there was that Richard Kuklinski fella. Pretty creative dude...
Hmmm:
Richard Kuklinski - Wikipedia
A nasty fellow, for sure, but perhaps less than he claimed to be.
The City, Manhattan, is an island, with " 21 Bridges", according to a movie.
Not sure if that movie included the various tunnels.
