After viewing the photos on Wednesday, several activists from the Occupy Wall Street movement identified Detective Braszczok as a man they knew as Al, a fixture at Zuccotti Park during the protests there.
In fact, according to a statement released by the family of the victim, "When the attorney contacted Detective Angulo immediately after Winston was identified, Detective Angulo told the attorney that Tallahassee was a big football town and the victim needs to think long and hard before proceeding against him because she will be raked over the coals and her life will be made miserable". .
Police officials identified the detectives killed Monday night as James V. Nemorin, 36, and Rodney J. Andrews, 34.
But it was unclear whether he had been identified by detectives from the Midtown South Precinct, who are investigating the killing.
Several potentially useable images have now been identified but detectives want to avoid traumatising Abigail by confronting her with a picture of her attacker.
The body has not been identified but detectives are also looking for a woman, believed to be Jokubauskas's Lithuanian partner, who is only described as being aged about 40, slim and with black hair.
None of the victims were immediately identified, but detectives believed that one man pulled a knife, stabbed two others, with whom he had been arguing, and then fled, the police said.
In a brief statement, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly identified the detective as Jamie Betancourt, 34.
