This happened inside an apartment. It was originally reported on the citizens app that a group of 5 men kicked down a ladies door in an attempted robbery. The citizens app even id’d one 38 year old man over the police radio (Different name from the deceased). Only a snippet is available unless You buy the Citizens + feature. I am a local resident and I know several people in that building. That report on Citizens is false and there is a lot more to this story. 3 other accounts reported the same inconsistencies and their comments were removed from the app after a few minutes. The fact that no arrests have been made tells me all I need to know about this neighborhood in 2024. There are several cameras in that building, a doorman that has to let You in past double doors and only 1 elevator that leads to the back of the building. We need answers. RIP and may he rest in peace.
Inside job/deal gone bad ?
96 and CPW!? What is going on in this neighborhood. Crime on 96th St has zoomed. Hopefully there are cameras. Please install more.
Oh, that’s a shame. Fortunately, there are many cameras around that building.
