Police in Virginia captured the man they believe shot his friend while on a portion of the Van Wyck Expressway that is within JFK as he was being given a ride to the airport early yesterday morning. The arrest occurred in Richmond, VA and cops believe that the man they arrested took a flight out of New York after killing his friend, who died after being shot twice. 34-year-old Scott Richards was riding, with his girlfriend behind the wheel, when an argument with a 17-year-old passenger turned deadly. After shooting Richards, the 17-year-old, who is not being named at this time, demanded that Richards' girlfriend continue their ride.
The gunman, described earlier as wearing dress pants with a shirt and tie, forced the driver -- believed to be the victim's girlfriend -- to an airport terminal where he was seen catching a taxi or livery car.
Maybe we've been watching to many forensic crime procedurals on tv lately, but wouldn't someone who fired a gun in an enclosed space like a car be covered in gunshot residue? Isn't that something that would be picked up by the bomb-sniffing equipment they have at airport security?

At a nuclear power plant it's done to everyone every time you enter the security zone. However, last time I looked, the bomb sniffing at the airport was done randomly.
I am betting the girlfriend is somehow involved a bit more, since she didn't seek help at the airport for her wounded boyfriend. It just strikes me as odd she drove not to anyplace she could get help straightaway, but to his family's house. Something is not Kosher here.
