Dick’s House of Sport suspect posted to social media just after crime
Police say a photo of Lyric Jones surfaced on snapchat with the shoes they stole from a father and son at Dick's.
The shots fired incident was a Facebook marketplace sale that went wrong.
It also turned into a robbery to steal sneakers, and police say shots were fired to do so.
“I’m baffled, like probably all of you are, that people would be that brazen to commit these acts that they’d be willing to shoot and strike individual people with baseball bats over shoes,” Colonie Police Chief James Gerace said.
Gerace said they really got to the bottom of these cases thanks to the help of the community, and calling in their tips to police.
A vigilant community helped police in their investigation, according to Gerace, giving investigators valuable leads.
“Our detectives worked around the clock, sometimes for over 24 hours without sleep, attempting to take the ball that was handed off from our citizens and put it into the end zone and bring these suspects to justice,” said Gerace.
