EXCLUSIVE: Darryl Littlejohn's Mugshot

One of our tipsters sent in this exclusive-- a recent mugshot of Darryl Littlejohn, the suspect in the tragic death of Imette St. Guillen: "this one was taken on 7/23/03 and they are typically taken from time to time by the docs when an inmate is moved to a new facility or if it has been a long time since they have had one taken or if they change their look (there are any number of reasons). but this was just gotten by the docs today from the prison he was last held at."

In the photo, the suspect is identified by one of his aliases, Jonathan Blaze, and at the bottom (cropped) his DOB is given as 11/11/1964. There is also another notation: "scar r/cheek stomach."

Remember: Littlejohn is just a suspect in the slaying-- while there seems to be a lot of evidence piling up, he hasn't been arrested yet, and even if he was arrested, he's innocent until proven guilty.

UPDATE 5:36PM: we walked up to The Falls to get a comment on the mugshot, but the bartender would only give us a "no comment", and refused to look at it. She said the bar would have someone call us back-- and we'll update the post with information if they do. There were a bunch of other reporters and photographers standing around outside looking cold. No one was in the bar, but it was only 4:45pm-- if anyone goes up there tonight, let us know if it's crowded.

UPDATE 5:58pm: NY1 is now running the mugshot. Looks like it's hit the mainstream media-- and relatively quickly-- about five hours from a blog to MSM. Not bad, pros!

UPDATE 7:29pm: Stewart writes in and says Littlejohn's appearance has changed a bit in three years: "he has gained weight and that gives him a less menacing appearance. His skin is much darker. He also smiles a lot, unlike the picture. I can recognize the photo as him because of the bump on the back of his head that you can see from the side view."

UPDATE 11:06pm: CBS and ABC are using the mugshot on their broadcasts, NBC still isn't identifying Littlejohn. Focus tonight appears to be on the back seat of his van-- it was found outside the vehicle, and police appear to be analyzing it.

UPDATE 8:32am: The Post is running the mugshot on the cover. The Daily News is using the picture-- and so is the New York Times.

That nigger uses the alias "John Blaze"? Like "Ghost Rider" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

david

if he ever walks free again it will only be short lived i promise.

mama_fields

this man should have never been permitted in society with decent people. Does NY have the death penalty?

mama_fields

this man should never have been free on the streets wtih decent people. Should have been locked up for life. He's been arrested & charaged now.

Hi, Gothamist. My first time writing on this website (first time visiting)on this shocking and horrible case. If the evidence points out that he did it, then I'm all ears. But I think Mr. Littlejohn may have an alibi. Sure he worked as a bouncer at that club, but you shouldn't assume the worse until the facts are gathered. I must say wholeheartedly that I am deeply sorry about her loss and the toll it has took on her family and friends. But as we all know: Innocence comes before guilt.

I would like to commend Scott Pearson for the honorable statements he had made in post #183, March 08, 2006 @2:50 pm.

You have my vote Scott. And as for the POS that our suspect is? I would without hesitation, assist his leaving this world as a service to Imette and other women who will at some point in time, become victimized by such filth.

Jack: I can't believe you're still going! You are so pathetic! Take the advice of like 15-20 other commenters on here and move on. How could someone who hates this site spend so much time here? You must really hate yourself.

Scott Pearson, you're exactly why I love this country. There's always someone out there has has two cents but seems to be broke all the time. If we were back in Salem in the 1600's Scott would have been the one with the pile of stones in his tweed sack.

Dude, you're talking and talking but aren't sayin' a damn thing. Following this case? What the hell do you know that any of us don't? So far every shred of evidence is pure circumstance. Maybe you have special access to the forensics?

Get a life dude. You're the reason we have to be proven guilty in a court of law - even if we taxpayers have to fit the bill. This aint Cali and Ahhnold don't run shit here.

As to why this is 'none' actually 'Jake' controversy, Jake let his feelings on the issue be known long ago:

"Gothamist does not approve of anonymous blogging: We believe all bloggers should stand behind their posts with their real names."

He seems obsessed with 'outting' others, but does not 'lead by example'. Way to go!

READ THIS, IT IS INTERESTING AND NOT OFF THE MARK

This is one example of how the authorities should have locked this guy up and welded the door shut.

In California, this creep would have been locked up for 25 years to life under the "3 strikes" rule (which liberals and relatives of scum like this want to repeal).

In New York, this guy not only had 3 strikes, he had nine innings. Now, an irresponsible, inebriated, belligerent girl, pursuing a career in criminal justice, is dead. Innocent before proven guilty? Anyone who has been following this case knows the evidence will support his guilt when processed. The next step? His bleeding heart liberal, court appointed (at our tax expense) attorney will claim that the DNA drifted from one countertop of the lab to the other, just like in the O.J. case. My suggestion to you, Mr. Littlejohn, Mr. Blaze, Mr. Handsome or whatever the hell you are calling yourself these days.......have the pimp, "forensic" pathologist, "Doctor" Lee from Connecticut testify on your behalf. For half a million bucks, he'll swear he can't tell the difference between your DNA and the DNA of your identical twin that was given up for adoption at birth but never reported to the authorities. We know that that twin's gotta be out there somewhere. How else would your DNA find it's way onto the girl's clothing and genitalia. Didn't swab it off all the way, this time?

Good luck, New York. You'll waste millions bringing this slime to trial when he should have been in prison for the rest of his life to begin with.

Furthermore, the owner, bartender and anyone else who swayed the police away from investigating this piece of excrement should serve time for obstruction of justice.

Gothamist should charge Jake for his entries, too. His tend to be inflammatory. (For example, the entry called "Beautiful WTC Photos" that showed the Twin Towers blowing flames and smoke on 9/11.) Jake Dobkin is the one inciting most of this.

Jean

Jack - Does it really matter who n0ne is or who anyone else is? If someone disagrees with you, it's OK and it really makes no difference if that person is Jake. It's a lot like when Donald Trump freaked over that mild criticism/comment from Martha Stewart. All out of proportion to the original offense.

"Jonathan Blaze"? Holy shit, he's Ghost Rider!

"“The word on (Littlejohn) was that he had been invovled in committing murder-for-hires for the South Jamaica drug crews,” said the source. “We had gotten some evidence, but we couldn’t make a case on him for murder.” "

"will a (real)female(s) please explain to me why so many senoritas fall for this "nice looking guy" bs? .....it's pathetic and tragic soo many,especially otherwise intelligent woman,fall for their con."

It shouldn't be that difficult to figure out. Women fall for nice looking men for the same reason men fall for nice looking women. Good looks are seductive. Looks matter, and there are multiple billion dollar industries built around being, or trying to be, "nice looking" (modelling, pornography, cosmetic surgery, cosmetics, physical fitness...) that prove that looks matter. This fellow seems to be a pretty good looking guy which is likely why the inebriated Miss St. Guillen (RIP) reportedly hung around after the bar closed and everyone was leaving.

Isn't lying to police and assisting a killer a crime?

If they really did this then they should go to jail for a long time (I don't care what happens to the bar I just want these sickos behind bar). Or maybe I'm just racist and I think they are guilty just because they (owners) are white. I should add a disclaimer or two..Innocent until proven guilty.

BOYCOTT Dorrian's and & The Falls:

The people who work at The Falls lied to the police and witheld crucial information about Imette St. Guillen-- giving the suspect over a week to destroy evidence. What sane human being would do that--choose making money over a human life??? If we are compassionate human beings, we would not frequent a bar that does nothing to protect it's cutomers, that instead chooses to protect their precious liquor license & cash registers!

PLEASE BOYCOTT The Falls and the other bar owned by the same people, Dorrian's (on East 84th steet). The owners are despicable and should not be in business. As I see it, the owners of these bars will serve young women alcohol and allow them to die after getting them drunk.

NYPOST:

"..is now being eyed in a string of rapes in Queens and Long Island, law-enforcement sources said yesterday."

Somehow I'm not that surprised.

I'm curious how a scumbag like him can be out there (working as a mortgage lender was a reason for his parole!). He is a violent career criminal and should have been held behind bars for the rest of his life (even without this latest incident in which he is guilty of breaking his parole rules and probably much more).

We have too lax and liberal laws. By the way, what were his official job duties as a mortgage lender? Being an enforcer? I love RE business.
