Geez, there was an apartment fire Friday night just a few blocks from there at the Balcones Apartments.
This is also close to the Bosque St. 4-plex of Corey Stewart, one of the robbers who murdered a convenience store clerk at the Tigerland Express on 2818 & Welsh in April.

This area has gone down hill in the past few years. There are a lot of hurricane evacuees that live in the area. They even still refer to themselves as evacuees.
My parents have lived in that area for 27 years, now looking to sell their house and get out of the area.
Agree it has gone way down hill in the last 5 years.

The only description of the suspect provided by CSPD at this time is of a tall, slim, black man. No clothing description has been given.
Can you think of a better way to freak people out than to make them scared of every black man they see?
If kbtx or cspd has more they should have released it. Or none at all.
Would you have made a similar comment if the release had said:

Stupe with the kick through the back of the endzone
Have we really gotten so politically correct that we cannot describe a murder suspect?
I, for one, appreciate the description. I don't get too many strangers at my house. Now I know that if a tall black man is knocking at my door, perhaps I should have my sidearm with me and elevate the level of caution I take answering it.

^Exactly
Okay, so I saw the name and looked her up on facebook to see if I knew her. I immediately recognized her picture. I had seen her profile and picture a few weeks ago on Plentyoffish.com. Scary thing is, her profile said she was last online TODAY. I called CSPD and let them know this. So, please everyone, be very careful of websites like this. I cancelled my account 3 weeks ago after I met someone at church and also because of the crazy people that had messaged me from there. It almost seems like the new place for the craigslist crazies to hang out.
There's always an idiot in the group that feels the need to play the race card.
Just FYI - We are releasing what we can release due to the fact that it is an on-going investigation. It is better for us to be sure of the facts that we release than to release something and then have to retract it.
What I have been telling people is to practice their normal safety procedures - be aware of your surroundings, be aware of suspicious behavior and lock your doors. This is info that we teach all the time. At this time we are not suggesting that the residents in the neighborhood take extreme precautions. If we thought that they were in immediate danger we would put that information out there.

Well, I still stand by the fact that people need to stay away from plentyoffish. Regardless of whether the person who did this came from there or not.
CHL if you are that worried.

%5.5 of people in CS are black
Assume 50% of those black people are males
Assume 80% of those black males are men (excluding children and elderly)
Assume 25% of those black men are tall
Assume 25% of those tall black men are skinny
So a tall, skinny black man filters down to %0.1375 of our overall population.
Can you break down the % of the .50 square mile area around where the murder occured instead of 40 SM's that includes the entire city??
That might be interesting instead of listing the entire city.

Define "tall."
Define "skinny."
You know what happens when you "assume."

'Person of interest' in custody.

It will be interesting to find out the details.
Arrested: Stanley Lamar Griffin.

ah, should have checked this before I started a new thread that he was arrested....
so the profiling commentary in the first part of this thread proved accurate. Trust your instincts folks.
RIP to the victim, and hopefully, justice will come to the perpetrator.

The local news media needs to get off their lazy rear ends and go after these stories, rather than stand around and wait for CSPD to spoon-feed them the information. Lots of sources ignored on this story. I think CSPD should provide all the information necessary for citizens' to make wise decisions for their personal and family safety. That is not happening in this case ...
eye3guy, I asked myself the same thing, during the CSPD news embargo concerning the murder/kidnap at the CS WalMart.
CSPD has been encrypting police dispatches at least since 2003 or 2004. KBTX and The Eagle used to monitor scanners for CSPD 911 call dispatches, and the department and city had no way to control emerging information.

Eh. The police know best on the info flow. Let them do their job and you'll learn all the sordid details soon enough.
Eh, they arrested the suspect within 12 hours. Sounds like a job well done.

I really hate it when people that don't understand how police investigations work make these kinds of statements. The police often withhold information because releasing it would actually hinder the investigation.
The victim and the perpetrator were Facebook friends, supposedly...meaning they apparently knew each other.
Really hard to imagine this happening to a young mother and her 9 year old, although it happens more than we know. Just horrible.

A few new details on KBTX.
quote:
After Hailey's son positively identified Griffin as the man he saw on top of his mother, choking her, he was detained as of 5:15 Monday afternoon.
Hailey's 9-year-old son told police Griffin came into his room and struck him in his face and neck. College Station police say the little boy was stabbed several times in the neck with a gardening tool.
Exige, they use a standars 800 radio system. You can buy an 800 scanner and get it, I've known folks who have done it. And KBTX has a scanner (i asked) so they could have heard it if they had someone listening.
Is there any truth that the killer is a Katrina refugee????
