A man suspected of gunning down an imam and his friend as they left a New York City mosque was arrested and charged with murder late Monday night, police said. Police have yet to release a motive behind the killings.

Oscar Morel, 35, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the Saturday afternoon executions of Imam Maulana Alauddin Akonjee and Thara Uddin near the Al-Fuquan Jame Masjid mosque in the Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens.

Morel was taken into custody late Sunday night outside a Brooklyn apartment as he approached a vehicle that police had linked to an unrelated hit-and-run that matched the description of the shooting suspect’s getaway vehicle.

I wonder if we can start a fund to help Mr. Morel with his defense?

Based on what the Daily News is saying....this guy was contracted out by someone to do a hit. It would be curious who hired him and if there was some internal family matter. The shooter....as far as I can see....was only arrested once in his life....for some weed possession deal.

Muslim-looking 'Hispanic' dude murders two Imam's because he's still upset about 9/11. Sorry, AIN'T BUYIN' IT.

This stinks of a cover-up. Either the Muslims guys knew too much about Hillary's dirty dealings, or they were 'taken out' in order to blame Trump and generate sympathy for Muslims.

That reminds me, WHEN IS THE MEDIA AND THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR BLAMING THIS ON TRUMP?

Also, why 2nd degree murder and NOT 1ST DEGREE? How much more 1st degree does someone have to get?

But I thought the media said that this was all Trump’s fault.

No, but it seems the organization organizing the protests for the Bangledeshi “community” is a typical, progressive, taxpayer-funded, immigrant-to-welfare pipeline, community-organizing 501C

He works as a Janitor at The New School is a private research university in New York City, New York, located mostly in Greenwich Village. From its founding in 1919 by progressive New York educators, and for most of its history, the university was known as The New School for Social Research. Between 1997 and 2005 it was known as New School University. The university and each of its colleges were renamed in 2005.

The university was set up as the University in Exile in 1933 as a graduate division to serve as an academic haven for scholars escaping from Nazi Germany and other anti-intellectual regimes in Europe.[7] It has launched or housed a range of institutions such as the international research institute World Policy Institute, the Vera List Center for Art and Politics, the India China Institute, the Observatory on Latin America, and the Center for New York City Affairs. Parsons School of Design is the New School’s highly competitive art school.

Approximately 9,300 students are enrolled in graduate and undergraduate degree programs, organized into seven schools which teach a variety of disciplines, including social sciences, liberal arts, humanities, architecture, fine arts, design, music, drama, finance, psychology and public policy.[8]

The University in Exile in 1934 was chartered by state and its name was changed to the Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science. In 2005 it was renamed New School for Social Research.

Used a revolver, shot from behind, and double-tap head shots. Sounds way too professional for a "hate crime".

(I read one news story that noted that no shell casings were found at the scene. Of course not. He used a revolver. Idiot reporters.)

From the media description, I thought that this was the Trump supporter who did it? White guy with an "assault rifle" / Thompson Submachine Gun that he was able to buy at the corner drug store without any ID.

Saturday afternoon executions

How do we know? Maybe it was a failed negotiation over a male prostitute.
