Suspected Times Square shooter is career criminal with a lengthy rap sheet
2021-05-11
[NYPOST] The suspected gunman who allegedly maimed three people in Times Square — including a 4-year-old girl — is a career criminal with a lengthy rap sheet, sources familiar with the cases told The Post.

Farrakhan Muhammad, 31, who remains on the loose, has a criminal record dating to 2007, including two felony robbery arrests and a 2012 bust where cops seized a 12-gauge shotgun, a 22-caliber handgun, and body armor, according to sources.

According to the sources, Muhammad’s first arrest was in January 2007, when he was picked up on a robbery charge for allegedly stealing a victim’s cellphone in Brooklyn.

In November 2009, Muhammad was hit with another robbery charge for allegedly grabbing a woman’s bag while she was loading up a car — with him and a second suspect fleeing the scene, sources said.

His other busts include turnstile jumping and aggravated harassment, the sources said.

#6  In an enlightened era, he woulda been shot just for the turnstile jumping.

#4  ^ "affordable housing"

Maybe sharing digs with other young gentlemen? Or "stayin' by my aunty's place. Allah only knows.

#3  {Farrakhan} Muhammad is believed to be a resident at 500 West 42nd Street.

Upon Googling this address, it appears to be an upscale part of NYC. How does a street thug like this afford such digs? Does the name Farrakhan imply any Nation of Islam ties?

But there must be some mistake?

NYC has some of the most restrictive firearm control laws in the USA.

How could Farrakhan Muhammad, a criminal with not 1 but 2 previous FELONY records over the last 14 years have gotten a Firearm?

When even respectable law abiding citizens can't get 1 to protect their families, businesses or themselves in a lawful manner?

#1  St Floyd was a blessed martyr.
This guy's an Apostle. His rap sheet is like his Stations of the Cross.
