Police have identified two Minneapolis men as "persons of interest" in the Robbinsdale home invasion during which a 28-year-old man was shot to death on New Year's Day.
Lots of coincidences, but no proof. The cell phone was in the area, a similar car was in a neighbor's security video, the 'persons of interest' are self-identified thugs, and both have a history with the police. I hope they can ratchet this up to proof and take these guys off the street. Sometimes, I think it's a shame that capital punishment doesn't happen in Minnesota.
The question I have is: Is there a point to announcing 'persons of interest' with enough detail that the thugs will recognize themselves? Are they trying to scare the thugs, or warn them? Wouldn't it be better to gather the proof and arrest them before they get a chance to leave town? Or, are they hoping other people will recognize the thugs and connect them to the crime?
I don't know, I'm not a police investigator. I'm just wondering.
