5. It's a more complicated story than the article implies

Police believe it was a gang altercation. (Note: I knew nothing about this until reading the OP, but reading around, there's more to the story. Also, this doesn't take away from the point that NYPD has expended an stupendous amount of resources to find the CEO's murderer).

Police have on video a larger group displaying gang signs when confronted by the victims and asked, "Why are you flashing gang signs?"

It quickly turned into to a street brawl. That's when the 17-year-old was stabbed fatally in the chest and pulled into a drug store by a worker who called 911.

Police believe the victims are members of Venezuelan migrant gangs taking hold in New York City-run hotels around 42nd Street. The suspects in the video are believed to be migrant gang members from the Caribbean community.
