Hoping to back up her brother's claim that he killed a motivational speaker to help him commit suicide, Kenneth Minor's sister Susan tells the Daily News, "This man, Locker, came to Harlem looking for a person to take him out. This man was asking everyone in Harlem to kill him."
Last week, Locker's body was found in his car on an East Harlem street. Minor, arrested yesterday, says that Locker wanted his family to collect insurance money and offered the career criminal his ATM card and PIN number as payment. Minor also claimed that the married Long Island father of two instructed him to tie his hands and hold the knife behind the steering wheel, allegedly then calling his wife and telling her, "You're not going to see me no more"—at least, that what Susan Minor claims her brother told her of Locker's last words. She then added, "He brushed against the knife so hard my brother gets cut. At the fifth brush against the knife, he noticed the man was really going."
Police have dismissed the claim as they search for more suspects—NYPD Chief Ray Kelly said police are still unsure whether Locker was a random victim or had been set up. The Manhattan DA's office said that Locker was tortured to give up his ATM card PIN number; a prosecutor said at Minor's arraignment, "The victim's hands were tied behind his back. There was no suicide note or evidence of suicide." The Post describes Minor as the "pimp" of a woman who had numerous Wednesday night appointments with Locker. Police are still looking for her.





BULL SHIT
People who want to commit suicide generally do it themselves. As any motivational speaker knows, it's about "Taking Control".
In the 70s anytime I stepped foot in Harlem I felt like I was ready to meet my maker...
The Minor family really know their CSI plot lines.
I would totally agree that a white guy from LI going into East Harlem in a BMW is a suicide waiting to happen. Tragic, yes. But seriously, going into that neighborhood is asking for trouble.
Are you serious?
Unless you're walking around trying to get into some shit, Harlem is pretty safe. The things you're talking about are the exception, not the rule, just like any other neighborhood in this city.
Have you ever been to East Harlem?
He sure was motivated....
There's. Fucking lambo dealer in Harlem 2 blocks from the pjs in every direction. If they were going to kill a white dude in a BMW fir being a white dude in a BMW they would take his car and leave him somewhere. Times have changed. Whitey took over and fortye most part there's no reason to be worried about walking thru Harlem at 4am puss drunk. Shit happens sometimes, but pimps shoot each other in times square sometimes too.
So basically, this guy's defense is that Locker begged to be murdered in slow, violent and painful way and paid for this privilege with his ATM card and PIN number?
Murder defense FAIL.
PIN number = FAIL. It's redundant. Same with VIN number and ATM machine.
I've been to east harlem. It's a shithole. Filled with the scum of the earth and people who thought the scum would have left by now. Too bad
East Harlem is glad to keep people like you out.
A guy once told me a similar story. He had an uncle who was doing life upstate. The uncle claimed he was standing on the street, minding his own business, while paring an apple. A guy wasn't looking and ran into the knife and was stabbed, 14 times, in the back. Next case please.
