It does get more and more curious:
(Independent research by Men’s News Daily revealed that the victim has the same name as the Federal judge that is hearing the case of alleged “shoe bomber” Richard Reid.)

WOW! I never saw that about Richard Reid's Judge. He was the one that at the sentencing said:
"We are not afraid of any of your terrorist co-conspirators,
Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire
before. There is all too much war talk here. And I say that
to everyone with the utmost respect.
Here in this court where we deal with individuals as
individuals, and care for individuals as individuals, as
human beings we reach out for justice.
You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are
not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you
that reference, to call you a soldier gives you far too much
stature. Whether it is the officers of government who do it
or your attorney who does it, or that happens to be your view,
you are a terrorist.
And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not treat with
terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists.
We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice."
Also, Reid threatened him in a round about way
