BBC News: 30 minutes ago, a shooting occurred at 345 Park Ave, Manhattan. The perpetrator was a notorious gang member, who committed suicide at the scene. A letter found on him revealed the identity of the mastermind that shocked the world, which was…
At 11:43 a.m. today, residents of 345 Park Avenue, Manhattan, heard a rapid burst of gunfire on the 17th floor. Within minutes, four people were dead, including a tech executive, a former intelligence contractor, and a woman believed to be under FBI protection. The shooter, identified as 34-year-old Luis “Reaper” Delgado, a long-time member of the El Ocho cartel, was found with a gunshot wound to the head. The weapon was his own.

Police arrived within five minutes, but it was already too late.
What they found next turned a targeted shooting into something far more sinister: a folded, blood-stained letter in Delgado’s jacket pocket — written in clean cursive, signed with only an initial, and containing a name that authorities have refused to release.

According to a senior NYPD source, the letter reads like a confession, but not from Delgado. Instead, it appears dictated. Structured. Calculated. And within it, one sentence:
“The man behind this has eaten dinner at the White House more than once.”
Forensics have confirmed the paper bears traces of synthetic ink not commercially available. Multiple intelligence agencies were notified less than 20 minutes after the letter was discovered.
One former FBI profiler stated, “This wasn’t gang-related. Delgado was a pawn. Someone handed him that paper. Someone powerful.”

CCTV footage shows Delgado entering the building calmly at 10:57 a.m., wearing a delivery uniform. No packages. No resistance. He rode the elevator directly to floor 17, where he appeared to know exactly which unit to target. Three of the victims were shot in the head, execution-style. One had multiple stab wounds — suggesting personal involvement or a message.

The most alarming detail: two of the victims, Thomas Kellerman and Ava Lin, were scheduled to testify before a closed Senate committee next week. Their appearance was unlisted, off the record, and reportedly involved classified documents related to a multi-billion dollar cybersecurity contract involving foreign governments.
Now, that hearing may never take place.
A fourth victim, George Haynes, had no known connection to the others — but was flagged in a recent Interpol alert for suspected ties to “Project Black Dagger,” a disbanded intelligence unit accused of domestic surveillance operations without congressional approval.
Inside sources confirm the letter names a person of “national significance.” One agent called it “the kind of name that freezes the room when you hear it.” Multiple major news outlets have tried to obtain the document, but federal agencies have invoked national security to prevent its release.
Despite the pressure, neither the White House nor the DOJ have made statements.
At 2:10 p.m., unmarked vehicles arrived at the scene. Witnesses observed armed personnel escorting building security staff away for questioning. The building remains sealed. Electronic locks have been disabled. Residents are being relocated.
An anonymous cybersecurity analyst leaked that a second, encrypted copy of the same letter may have been emailed to a journalist hours before the shooting. If true, it may already be in circulation — buried, waiting to be decrypted.
One former CIA operative said, “If that letter reaches the wrong inbox, we’re not looking at scandal. We’re looking at collapse.”
Meanwhile, Delgado’s body has been transported to a secure federal facility. His family has refused to comment. No known accomplices have been identified, but encrypted messages found on a burner phone in his pocket mention a “Phase Two.”
That phrase appears twice in the letter.
No one knows what Phase Two is.
Or when it starts.
Or who still has to die before the name is spoken aloud.
