A witness on a Brooklyn bus called police to report a man with a gun. When police arrived 27-year-old Christopher Palumbo had gotten off the bus and allegedly gone down in to the R train station a 86th Street and Fourth Avenue.

On May 26, 2022, an investigator with the Rockland County’s District Attorney’s Office (β€œInvestigator-1), who was working in an undercover capacity and posing as a 13-year-old girl on an online platform, engaged in text communications with REED. Investigator-1 told REED that she was 13 years old. During the communications, REED requested sexually explicit photos of Investigator-1 and asked her to meet with him to have sex. REED described the sexual things he wanted to do to Investigator-1 and, when she asked if he was β€œok with my age,” REED responded, β€œYes of course.” REED made a plan to meet Investigator-1 on the evening of May 26, 2022, in Rockland County, New York to have sex.
