JULY 6, 2015–District of Columbia police arrested a man Monday morning they suspect was behind the stabbing murder that took place on the Fourth of July in a crowded subway car.
Jasper Spires, 18, was out of jail no less than 24 hours before he fatally stabbed Kevin Sutherland, 24, in what is believed to be a botched robbery attempt, The Washington Post reported.
Spires was considered so dangerous by city police that police chief Cathy Lanier sent a wanted flier with his picture on it to every patrol officer on the force and his description broadcast by dispatchers every two hours until he was captured.
Earlier in the week on Thursday, D.C. police arrested Spires after he robbed a man in Northwest Washington, WUSA9 reported. After originally being charged with a felony, police bumped the charges down to a misdemeanor and released him early Friday.
Spires allegedly stabbed Sutherland while the two were aboard a train during the crowded Independence Day rush of tourists headed into the city to celebrate the holiday.
