“We don’t want to release [his name] now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

"We revealed his face," he continued, referring to security camera photos and video released after the murder. "We’re going to reveal who he is and we’re going to bring him to justice.”

So the guy that did it, knows he did it, knows you’ve released his photo, and now you’re publicly saying that you know his identity and that you’re coming for him… and it’s supposed to be a surprise?

This, an incredibly stupid statement. He already knows he did it. Disclosing his name doesn't help him, he already knows that he did it and you know he did it.

He won't suddenly change his behavior just because you release his name.

I’m hardly convinced that the released photo is even him.

Not that Eric Adams is a very trustworthy source. Guess we'll see whether he's full of shit this time.

I take Trump, had he been born black 20 years later, at the same face value as original flavor Trump. It's all "swagger" to quote Black Trump.

I mean he’s a cop, so he’s used to not being held accountable for things he does or says

Sounds an awful lot like bullshit, mayor.

I heard from someone that works for Eric Adams that the name is Julian Cassio

Whoever he is, he was having dinner at Red Robin in Kissimmee, Florida at the time of the shooting. I am almost 100% sure that it was him I saw. Yep. Pretty sure. In Florida. Far away from NYC.

Guys remember; If you know the identity of the shooter, no you don't.

I have a very specific theory on how to catch him that I would put money on ... after they catch him
