The other day the residents of that area were all being slammed because nobody had yet ratted him out. Let me be the first to say it...
Most likely, somebody ratted him out. Not making that person a hero, because I believe there’s a sizable reward being offered AND it’s your moral and civic duty to turn in a cold-blooded killer.
Just want to emphasize that SOMEBODY went against that “don’t rat out the brother” mantra and did the correct thing.
Two things. I think maybe it should be said someone 'did the right thing' rather than "ratted him out," if that's what actually happened. It could very well be that investigators knew the man from his pic. I'm sure we'll find all that out in time.
The second thing is it took a bit of time as it was. Nowhere evident were protesters, potbangers and others DEMANDING police action like we had two years ago.

And those comments were coming from people who had NO idea whatsoever whether or not police were getting tips. Folks who just assumed the worst of anybody who might recognize the perp. Pretty sad.
I'll bet several people ratted these guys out. The police were pretty sure they had the right guys when they went in.
And not ratting out the corner drug dealer who helps his mama pay the rent is one thing. These guys were stone-cold psychopaths. Even their neighbors are probably happy to have them off the streets.
Remember there was that one black man who came forward and helped Reginald Denny, the truck driver who was beaten almost to death during the Rodney King riots.
