Quote from the article:
"There was a corpse in the car beside him," Springfield Police Chief Joseph Daly said last night, as investigators tried to determine the nature of the relationship between the two men and a motive for the slaying. "The paramedic on the scene pronounced the victim dead, DOA." Police were not releasing information about the assailant or the victim pending the filing of charges and notification of next of kin. But Daly said that it didn't appear to be a random killing. "We believe there's a link between the victim and the actor, but we're not sure what that link is right now," Daly said. "We believe this was isolated. It wasn't a carjacking, it wasn't a robbery gone bad, it was none of those things." |
