More on the murder of Glen Wright, the 21-year old college student who was stabbed at the Baruch Houses this past weekend. Police have confirmed (per the Daily News) that it was likely a case of mistaken identity: “Cops were exploring the possibility that an 11-year-old girl – asked by the killer to point out his intended target – mistakenly fingered Wright… Suspect Joel Herrera, 20, was arraigned on murder charges. Herrera, a suspected gang member who has several prior arrests and a 2006 arson conviction, admitted to detectives that he mixed Wright up with someone who beat up one of his friends, police sources said.” Wright, who lived in Harlem, was taking a break from washing his grandmother’s windows when he was killed.
