Wasnt really a Luigi style shooting from what little Wikipedia has to offer so far. Dude just killed a bunch of random people and then offed himself. Literally just a mass shooting.

He killed:

  • Didarul Islam, a 36-year-old off-duty police officer (ACAB)
  • Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner (...)
  • Julia Hyman, a recent college graduate working for Rudin (questionable)
  • Aland Etienne, a 46-year-old security guard (probably not a cop considering it wasnt specified like with the other one)

Definitely not a targeted assassination. Still better than doing it in a school or club tho.

Just to be clear and without taking sides: Wesley LePatner appears to have been the CEO of the real estate portfolio of rental units. Literally the person most responsible for Blackstone buying up US housing at an alarming rate.

LePatner, 43 years old, was the $1.2 trillion firm's global head of Core+ real estate and CEO of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, the company's juggernaut real estate fund for individual investors.

Wait there's a company called "Blackstone" as well as one called "Blackrock", and both buy up real estate?

Blackstone is private equity. Blackrock makes the funds normal people buy for their retirement accounts.
