A man suspected in a barbershop shooting has been apprehended after New York City detectives used a cutting-edge facial recognition software to nab his identity.Police say a man was beaten and shot last week over a neighbourhood dispute in Queens while trying to get a haircut but the suspect initially made a near-clean getaway as police were left without a name.
'What are you going to do now?' the suspect allegedly shouted at his victim after walking in with a sawed-off shotgun beside an accomplice.
After a physical fight ensued, a bullet was fired at the back of the 39-year-old victim's head, grazing his skull. He required stitches but will survive.
The victim's brother who was also at the scene claimed to only know the shooter by his nickname of Armani but thought he may have a photo of him online.
'We let him log onto Facebook,' Sgt. Michael Ackerman from the precinct’s detective squad told the New York Post, and 'Lo and behold, he comes up with a picture of both [suspects] standing next to each other at a party.' Read More
