Police nearly lost a suspect in the murder of Brooklyn liquor store clerk Yoseph Robinson after he was left unhandcuffed in an Interrogation room and tried to make a break for it. After receiving numerous tips, detectives tracked down the suspect's car and took him into custody. He has not confessed, though he is wanted on an unrelated assault warrant. Robinson, a Jamaican drug dealer turned Orthodox Jew, was a community icon, whom his employer described as "the kind of guy we should all emulate."
