Police detain suspect in killing of Muslim man

Source: Albuquerque Journal

Detectives have detained a suspect in a string of killings targeting Muslim men in Albuquerque.

Four Muslim men were killed over a period of nine months, and three were killed in 10 days.

Police Chief Harold Medina announced on Twitter early Tuesday afternoon that the department had “tracked down the vehicle believed to be involved in a recent murder of a Muslim man in Albuquerque.”

“The driver was detained and he is our primary suspect for the murders,” the chief wrote.

The Police don't release all the details of an arrest immediately, just like DOJ doesn't release all the details of the Trump investigations.

Eventually, he'll face charges and his identity will be public, in which case, why would covering it up earlier make any difference?

I haven't seen it. In fact I frequently see stories about the content on their social media sites.

But in cases like this, it is pretty standard to release a name.

I don't think so.

Please don't make assumptions. That is what the other side does, lump people together.....
We need to do better about negativity towards the unknown

which is never a good thing. It seems the cops are trying to make sure they've got the right guy.

All we know for certain is that it's one more goon who thought a gun was going to solve his problems.
