It looks like they engaged the suspect at the Hortman residence so they probably got a good look at him. Maybe it's possible they were able to review CCTV footage already as well? Their shelter in place advisory says not to open the door for a single police officer or to call 911 to confirm. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] silence7@slrpnk.net [S] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children) The assassin also appears to have had use of a police car. Decent chance its a cop from another agency or jurisdiction. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago Could be a former cop who knows where keys are kept.

Just buy one private party with cash and never transfer the title. They're generally easier to steal because departments have them keyed the same for convenience. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Got look at him? Probably nodded and let him go. Notice how white suspects are always taken into custody, especially fuckers like this. permalink fedilink source parent
