Some updates from local news coverage:
- He got to the location early and went to a Starbucks a block away and then waited
- He went to the spot and waited about 5 mins near the curb just outside the Hilton entrance on 54th as several pedestrians walked by without incident
- The gun jammed after one of the first couple shots and he paused to clear the jam
- After the shooting he fled to 55th and undocked a Citibike, and rode it straight up 6th into Central Park
- They have video of him exiting the park a few minutes later on the Upper West Side (which also means they have a lot more surveillance footage after that)
- They found a mobile phone near the scene that they suspect he dumped
So that guy’s tweet about him docking the bike at Madison/82nd seems inaccurate.
But either way, I would find it hard to believe it’s too long before they catch him.
