Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is firing back after a counterpart in Arizona took a thinly veiled swipe at him, insisting a suspect wanted for theRaad Almansoori, 26, is being held without bond while Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell's office decides how to charge him in connection with the stabbing of two women in the county, Mitchell said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon. Those two women survived.
The statement said the office is “serious about New Yorkers' safety,” adding that homicides are down 24% since Bragg took office. The spokesperson noted that New York's homicide rate is less than half that of Phoenix's. During a Tuesday press conference, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said that Almansoori told Phoenix police to"Google SoHo 54 Hotel,'" as he informed them that he was wanted for a homicide in Manhattan.
In coordination with the FBI, New York officials have been looking to see if Almansoori could have any connection to crimes committed in Florida and Texas, where he also previously lived and has been arrested. Investigators were able to track the suspect's movements through the victim's credit card and MetroCard, which the suspect allegedly stole and had been using. He then boarded a flight out of Newark, landing in Arizona.
