NYTIMES.com (http://nyti.ms/PWioIU) reports that the suspect in custody, 26 year-old Kendel Felix of Crown Heights, is a self-employed construction worker with a violent past, according to a law enforcement source.
Felix, who lives in Crown Heights, is married with two children ages 4 and 10 months, was charged in February of 2013 with criminal harassment and violating a protection order.
Records also show that Felix has five additional “sealed” arrests dating back to 2011 and running through May of 2013.
Felix, who, according to police claims that Stark’s murder was unintentional, is due back in court on Monday.
I got many questions to ask.
1. This guy clearly doesn’t look like to person on the video at time of the abduction.
2. If he is in custody where are the other perpetrators, there were a minimum of 2-3 people
3. If we got his car a few months ago, why did it took so many months to make an arrest
4. If this was just a botched robbery why would the perp need to put a cell phone on the victims car to follow him.
5. If someone has 5 additional arrest warrants, why wasn’t he locked up a long time ago
Any many more unanswered questions.
with so many sealed arrests on him dating back to 2011 and running through May 2013 i guess the only thing he didn’t do is own few $$ for the IRS and that’s why he was still around and not picked up in middle of the night like they always do,
Let’s see he kidnaped him beat him burned him & that isssssss unintentional????
Once again, this news report clearly shows that that Hikind was wrong in his premature, jumping to conclusions, that this was merely a simple Robbery, (which went wrong), which it was obviously NOT.
This was a self employed contractor who was owed money.
Not only was it not merely “a Robbery”, but court records in this case show that he was not even being charged with Robbery nor with attempted Robbery, because it simply was NOT a Robbery, at all, as Hikind claims.
Gee, what a surprise.
Since when does a “Simple Robbery” involve a pair of handcuffs, Zip ties, Cell Phone tracker, Weeks in advance surveillance & 2-3 men to drag into a getaway car ? A typical Brooklyn robbery involves a young African-American low life with either a knife or gun point, And usually stupid enough to get caught a few days later (if Committed a high profile crime).
The guys in the videos did not look like African-Americans, This investigation stinks really bad.
There is much more to this than arresting this one guy. This was not some random robbery. This was very well planned and done by a group of people with a leader calling the shots.
Reply to 5. You reading the same reports as the rest of the world? If it wasn’t robbery, then what?
If he had help in the abduction and murder he will talk to get a lesser charge. Wait and see
