Need help with murder situation

[MaDuce]

Hello folks. I have a sticky little problem here.

 

 Someone was murdered 2 blocks from my house last week. On Saturday night, my neighbor called me up telling me that some druggie who buys from one of our neighbors had pulled a gun on him. I told him to call the police as this may have been the murderer from the other day. 

 

But here's where it gets catchy. My neighbor had a buzz when it happened and last time they called police out while he was buzzed landed him in jail over night. In other words, there's a lead on a possible murder suspect but the witness is afraid to come forward because of past police experiences with a really tiny issue.

 

 I told him to point out the suspect to me next time he sees him, but this could take a while as basically all 3 of us need to be at the same place at the same time.

 

 Any ideas on how to deal with this?

 

BTW. This drug dealing situation is something myself and a few of my neighbors have been working hard to get rid of and I have come to know many of the faces as result. If the suspect is who I think it is, then this guy is probably killing for the sake of killing and will only grow more daring if he gets away with this one.

Install lots of video, street cams, porch cams, etc. Good idea anyhow, while you're shopping for a new neighborhood. CYA in the mean time. This tech is cheap.

Sounds to me like your neighbor needs to grow a pair. :wtf:

Make sure the camera is a good quality and mount it as close to head level or it may be inconclusive as evidence... So the local pd told my friend who had his tires slashed several time before he was forced to move. A hard painstaking decision but had to be done! Good luck and watch your back. 2nd call pd and set up a block watch with your neighbors post sings this will give the dealer a taste of his own crap.

When it comes to a murder investigation, the cops around here don't give a crap if you're high...just so long as they get some information.  They have a priority list, murder tops that list.

I suspect the same here, but he won't listen. He tells me it's someone I've seen before and I DO have a suspicion. So I am going to do my own digging.
