New York City Police Commissioner James. P. O'Neill, shown in 2018, praised law enforcement on Twitter on Sunday for “capturing the career criminal who killed off-duty #NYPD Officer Vincent Ling in 1999.” Ling, however, is not dead.

He appeared to have fled to Florida, where he gave himself a new life and a new identity and built a following in the hip-hop community, with more than 100,000 followers on Instagram.

Brendan Ryan, a police spokesman, told The Post that “the word ‘attempted’ murder, I guess, wasn’t delineated as clearly as it should have been.” Neither Pearson nor Ling could be reached by The Post for comment. But Ling’s uncle, Thomas Ling, confirmed to the Daily News that “he’s very much alive. I saw him last year.” Vincent Ling appears to still be living in the Bronx.
