Sketch Released of Suspected Dry Cleaner Killer

2008_05_wtsusp.jpgPolice are still looking for the man who is suspected of killing a Brooklyn neighborhood's beloved dry cleaner. Kyung-Sook Woo, who worked 12-hour days at her Windsor Terrace store, was found in the store by a neighbor Friday morning and the police released a sketch of a suspect, a man who was seen in the area Thursday afternoon.

Police now think that Woo was strangled and that the killer used her car, a white Honda Accord, to get away. A deli worker down the street said Woo had mentioned a man spotted outside the store on Thursday; Brian Wince told WCBS 2, "She asked if I saw him and she said he was making her nervous."

Neighbors have been leaving flowers and notes outside the store; one said to the Daily News, "There were days I would just come by and talk and not bring in anything." Neighbors at Woo's Flushing apartment also left flowers. Woo's grieving sons told their father, who had to stop working at the store because of his health and is in a nursing home, "Mom is with Christ."

The suspect is described as being a black male, 5'7", "about 18 to 24 years old, wearing eyeglasses, a baseball cap, white shirt, black velour pants, a nylon jacket, and carrying a black knapsack." The car is a 2008 white Honda Accord, license plate EHS7392. Anyone with information should call CrimeStoppers 800-577-TIPS.

"He look like a man. Yeah. He look-- he look like a man."

 

MC Serch!

 

Have there been any white or asian murderers reported in this city in recent years, seriously?

 

The ol' twelve hour day hero cut down in her clothes washing prime by a stranger for absolutely no reason. New York's favorite story.

 

neoconfascist

yes there was, two black men tried to rob a chinese delivery man in hamilton heights, but he was robbed many times previously and carried a revolver. He shot both of them when they pulled a knife on him.

 

That's not murder, that's self defense.

Get it right.

 

I guarantee that guy has an IQ of below 80. He will be found soon.

 

after all those years of old infirm asian ladies at the tail end of their lives mercilessly taunting and assaulting viril young black men with enormous potential if only they applied themselves and their entire lives ahead of them, the reverse happens and everyone is in a snit?

 

Maybe this guy was "shutting down" NYC by doing this. Thanks Al Sharpton. This is why no one gives a shit about Sean Bell. Equity requires clean hands.

 

Where's Al Sharpton?
