Unsolved, and Unsettling "One night
"One night last January, a young man about to start his first job in New York City was shot dead on the Lower East Side as he returned home after a night out with friends. On Sept. 9, a young woman and three elderly relatives were found dead in bloody tableaux throughout their two-story house in Jamaica, Queens. On two consecutive days later in September, a Hunter College student was fatally shot on a Harlem corner, and a Mexican immigrant was stabbed to death as his subway car neared Times Square."
None of these crimes have been solved. But...
"With homicides in the city at a 40-year low, the thought of murderers on the loose does not infect the public's imagination as it once might have."
Go figure.
