New UpdatesAs CBS2's Elijah Westbrook reported, we learned from the NYPD the suspect turned himself in. We're also finding out he's no stranger to police.
Sundance Oliver, 28, was seen getting into an ambulance just outside the 77th Precinct shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday. The ambulance drove off heading south on Utica Avenue, bound for Kings County Hospital. "Safer that he is off the streets. It's good that he did turn himself in," Crown Heights resident Matthew Finch told CBS2.
It felt like a war zone for some Crown Heights residents overnight. An army of officers, including SWAT and other high-profile authorities, and even a police helicopter swarmed the neighborhood for the frantic search. "This neighborhood doesn't need any more people at high alert or to feel like their lives are in danger," Crown Heights resident Madge Philanthrope said."Sundance Oliver is very well known to us.
Now that the search is over, we're hearing charges are pending. We should expect to get an update from police during a press conference at 2 p.m.
