This doesn't seem to be headed towards a positive outcome. Praying for this situation to beat the odds.

Deport them back to Nazi Germany! Problem ( crime) solved.

Well we knew before we saw the picture

Glad they arrested that SOB. With video cameras every where now it’s not that easy for criminals to get away with shit

I bet it was a black dude.

Apparently the R and killing of this white woman was quite gruesome, the N was power-washing the inside of the vehicle and was soaking his clothes in bleach in a sink.

Just another POS criminal released from prison committing another even worse crime. When are people going to learn? The vast majority of criminals don’t get rehabilitated. They just learn how to be a more violent criminal. Once a criminal always a criminal.

We all know the description of the suspect. We don’t need to see it. Why are these people so violent?

Please release the exact video showing this man of committing the exact crimes you're accusing him of. Need his plate number and a shot of his face driving the suv. Should clear up any confusion. Thanks! Please don't give me 'we can't, it's part of an investigation.'

Why jog at 4:20am? It gives a predator or criminal the opportunity he is looking for.

A weapon is advisable for 0430 jogs.

No mugshot provided? I wonder wh- Ah, I see why.
