🔮 Cops are investigating whether someone fishing off a Brooklyn promenade may have used their bait knife to slash the throat of jogger Katie Suarez last week, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Monday.
🔮 Investigators are also looking to talk to anyone who may have seen Suarez jogging along the Belt Parkway between about 7:56 and 8:12 p.m. The new reward money in the case was being offered by Crime Stoppers, an NYPD program that offers cash to anonymous tipsters that help solve high-profile violent cases.
🔮 The attack happened at 12:30 a.m. near Bedford Avenue and Willoughby Avenue in Brooklyn, according to the NYPD.
🔮 The whole family will be here wearing pink about 20 of them.
🔮 Guerrero said she immediately went to school so she wouldn’t “be involved.”
🔮 The towering 76-foot-tall tree is expected to be cut down late next week and driven some 200 miles to Manhattan several days later ahead of a nationally televised tree lighting ceremony Dec. 2.
🔮 The Memphis rapper, whose real name is Lontrell Williams Jr., was being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day and allotted only two visitation hours a month ahead of his trial on federal kidnapping and armed robbery charges
🔮 Noah Lara, 20, Wyatt Carr, 18, William Oldner, 19 and Tyler Fogg, 18, were all arrested on hazing charges, according to police.
🔮 The mom wept in court Friday as she was sentenced to stay indefinitely at a secure psychiatric hospital by a judge who accepted that her horrific act was “almost entirely attributable to mental disorder.” “It is my view you would not have done what you have if you were well,” Judge Thomas Linden told the mom during her sentencing.
🔮 The hero entered the classroom to see a teacher trying to pry a Maverick 88 pump-action 12-gauge shotgun away from the crazed killer — and opened fire several times on the teen before John could unload his 44 remaining rounds of ammunition, police said.
