Probably the wrong place to say this, but the police response to this isn't because of who he is, it's because of the motive. The motive is destabilizing.

If a CEO was killed during a mugging, it would be second page news for a day.

They would still go crazy to solve it in a mugging, because they can't have the CEO community swearing off NYC.

Actually, the Mayor and PD are probably relived it wasn't a homeless dude that killed him, because they don't have any answer for that. A skilled assassin is a flukey thing that doesn't really reflect on the city, but more reflects the victim.

I wonder if some of the cops have also been screwed over by health insurance companies might be sympathetic towards the killer.
