6 Hour Standoff Ends After Police Discover Suspect Isn't Home

[Initech]

A standoff outside an apartment in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday ended peacefully after the police determined that the man they were looking for, a suspect wanted in connection with a 2010 killing of a Pace University student, was not there.

The police gained access to the apartment just after noon following protracted negotiations through the door with the suspect’s mother, who uses a wheelchair. But when they entered, six hours after they had arrived, the police said they did not find the 31-year-old suspect, who was not immediately identified.

Paul J. Browne, the chief spokesman for the Police Department, said the situation was not unusual for warrants being executed on suspects tied to violent crimes. Presented with a potentially barricaded suspect and others who may be speaking under duress, officers proceed with caution, he said.

“We were talking to the mother and it just took several hours to establish that he was not inside,” Mr. Browne said.
