The wallet bore only the fingerprints of the driver, leading to the speculation that the gunman had worn gloves, or perhaps used glue or another substance on their hands to create a protective film, thus avoiding leaving behind any fingerprints or skin debris.
Given that people in the vicinity heard a gunshot, it can be deduced that the gunman used a regular pistol without a silencer.
From the case's presentation, it appeared to be a straightforward case of a taxi robbery turned homicide.
The second incident occurred in the Bronx, where the security situation is more chaotic than in Manhattan; taxi drivers being shot and robbed is not unprecedented, so they simply processed the scene, made a record, and left it there, waiting for detectives from the police department to schedule a time to investigate. As for when this case would be addressed, that was left up to fate.
