From Metro: The suspect in the fatal stabbing of a youth soccer coach near Union Square left a note saying he was "sorry" before fleeing the county, police commissioner Raymond Kelly said Thursday.
Orlando Orea, 32, paid cash for a one-way airline ticket to Mexico City and flew out of John F. Kennedy airport Tuesday, just hours before investigators identified him as the knife-wielding man caught on surveillance camera attacking Michael Jones, 25, on a 14th Street sidewalk before dawn on Sunday.
A search warrant of Jones' apartment in Ridgewood, Queens, turned up a note that referenced the attack, Kelly said.
Investigators have said that Orea was in an argument in a nearby bar before the attack, and may have mistaken Jones for one of the people who intervened to break up the altercation. Jones was never in the bar and didn't know Orea.
Orea was able to board a plane leaving JFK just hours before police identified him and put him on the federal "no fly."
Investigators know which village in Mexico Orea is from, Kelly said Thursday. New York investigators are preparing to travel there to assist in the manhunt, and are also working with Interpol, Mexican authorities, and the U.S. State Department to try to track down the fugitive.
Orea, who used several aliases and was in the county illegally, is expected to be indicted for the homicide.
And we wanted to opt out of Secure Communities?

Well, there's one Mexican who aint coming back here. And no, I don't think the US will try to have him extradited. This poor man's death will be in vain.
Ridgewood. How appropriate.
another work related incident in the doomsberg sanctuary city ?
Nice!
Wadda ya expect in sanctuary city?
Whatever happened to airport security?
They couldn't grab him before he got onto the airplane?
He could have been a fleeing terrorist.
Now he'll warm his buns in Accapulco...free and clear!
America has been turned into a collection
of politically correct nut-less wussie-pussies!
If he is illegal he is untouchable. We invite criminals to come here illegally because we give them as much protection as a citizen. So why is being a citizen so important? None that I can see. Notice how the victim remains the victim without justice in this case?
If they were to sweep all of the illegal apts. in ridgewood, they'd be able to sweep up huge numbers of illegals, child molesters, parol violating felons, people with outstanding warrants, latent child molesters and various numbers of cheap labor flotsam and jetsam. Then again, those are the people that are helping Bloomberg turn NYC into luxury city so never mind.
Didn't the Mayor say that the illegals are afraid to commit crimes?
Anon.2, what is that supposed to mean? Do you have a problem with my neighborhood? Where do yo live?
whoever aided and abetted him should be made liable. including Catholic Charities.
I dont think a person here illegaly can just board a plane and leave. I think they are shipped to a private prison for several years first.
Illegals used to swim the Rio Grande.
Now they just board planes!
