East Village Key Food Killer Still at Large

Images from WNBC
A month ago, a man stabbed two employees of the Key Foods supermarket in the East Village, killing one and seriously injuring the other. Today, police released surveillance footage from the attack, in hopes that someone can provide information on suspect Jamie Gonzalez.
The footage shows the suspect walking down the aisle, heading to the manager's booth. Some employees are seen heading towards the booth also, but he exits holding a large 10-inch knife. Police identified him as Gonzalez, a 42-year-old part-time Key Foods employee who dated victim Tina Negron. Negron, who had broken up with Gonzalez, was fatally stabbed multiple times while Rosheda Andradas, also in the booth at the time, survived her injuries.
Police have searched for Gonzalez, but have not found him yet. Anyone with information should contact the NYPD Crimestoppers 800-577-TIPS




Holy Shit! that is a big motherfucking Rambo Knife! the stuff of nightmares.
Is he wearing the Silence of the Lambs mask? Jesus, what a complete psycho.
Those frames from the video are seriously scary.
However, every time I go to my local Key Food, I feel like stabbing someone, too.
No way...Jaime?!
You call that a knife? Now THAT'S a knife.
You just have to love this conflicting attempt at political correctness from Gothamist. It says "a man stabbed two employees" then says Gonzalez is just a suspect. If it's not Gonzalez, then how do we know the suspect is a man? And if it really is Gonzalez in the photo carrying a knife, he's a little more than just a suspect, especially if he's been on the lam all this time. I guess Gothamist is afraid that he really didn't do it and that he'll come back and sue the site.
I walked by that Key Foods last night and wondered if the cops had caught him yet. Hey, at least we know every detail about Spitzer's sex life. I hope this guy is enjoying his life in Costa Rica....or the Bronx.
Spiritof76, I wouldn't call it political correctness but just what's done. He's a suspect, identified as Gonzalez, that's that.
Maybe the clerks should have offered him their jackets and taken him to dinner.
Maybe that only works in the Bronx.
Hm, this might have been helpful a month ago.
Fuck you Ared, you f'n smart ass I hope someone takes a 7" knife to you loser
Perhaps they don't want to find him? According to Village Voice, NYPD didn't count this murder in official records because it occurred on Feb.29. They were afraid extra day in 2008 could threaten their crime statistics.
Horrible, horrible, horrible. Tell you what: if I even *see* a seven-inch knife anywhere near me, the m*therfucking holder better pray he's not within my striking range, 'cuz I am not waiting for "imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm" before giving him one or more of the following: a broken knifing arm, broken ribs, a broken jaw, and a seven-inch knife shoved so far up his ass they will need the Jaws of Life to remove it.
But more to the point, and this is not the fault of the reporting: "suspect", or Definitely The Guy Who Did It? Because if it's the latter, then the "information" should be something like "shoot this guy until he is D-E-A-D before it can be plea-bargained down to 'by reason of insanity'".
