A man suspected of bashing Asian women in the face with a hammer in a series of brutal, racially motivated attacks in New York city has been found dead in an apparent suicide, police said, just days after he detailed in an online blog a plot to attack the women and then kill himself.
Tyrelle Shaw, 25, was found hanged in an elevator shaft in an apartment building Monday, police said on Tuesday. Shaw was wanted for four attacks on Asian women two weeks ago.
In each instance, the attacker hit the victim in the face with a hard object. The victims suffered minor injuries.
Meanwhile, Shaw had detailed online his plan to attack any Asian woman he encountered. In a series of rants posted on his blog Mr. Talent, Shaw wrote that he had been rejected by women my entire life.
He said he tried to strike up conversations with more than 100 Asian women one weekend and was rejected every time.
Every Asian woman by herself must be hit in the face, he wrote. I may even take a photo before hitting them. The reason is because I dont think Asian women like me ... so I think its brilliant to give all Asian women a legitimate reason to hate me.
Shaw grew up in New York City. He was homeless at the time of the attacks, said chief of detectives Robert Boyce. He had 10 prior arrests, all for nonviolent crimes, Boyce said.
In a June 17 post titled Why I decided to leave earth, Shaw admitted attacking one victim.
I didnt even expect to bash the dry cleaning lady in the mouth, he said. That was actually my day off from playing the Nose Game. Yeah, thats what Ill call it, The Nose Game.
In the same post, Shaw wrote about his suicide plot, saying he planned to use a noose at the bottom of an elevator.
Tenants at the building where Shaws body was found said they became suspicious after smelling a mysterious odour for several days. Shaw had no known ties to the building, and it was unclear how he gained access to the elevator shaft.
Police found a suicide note confessing to the attacks and a bag with a hammer inside which police suspect was the weapon used in the attacks under Shaws body in the elevator shaft, Boyce said.
This will no doubt be on the evening news.
Probably took his inspiration from Jack Nicholson's "Joker".
OTOH, at least the LSM didn't describe him as "an aspiring rapper turning his life around."
"Hello World, Im moments away from leaving my Human body. I discovered a way to make another person murder me without even knowing it. Ive tied a noose to the bottom of an elevator and Im patiently waiting until someone goes up leaving me hanging...."
(Hmmm, I copied his bold, all-caps shouting goodbye, and it automatically went to "normal". Go figure. Not that I'm complaining.)
Oooh that smell.
Can’t you smell that smell?
The smell of Tyrell surrounds you.
