I think it was either NYPD, pissed at Colombo for obvious reasons, or an inside job by soldiers and their bosses, pissed at Colombo for obvious reasons, and with police complicity. What sticks in my craw is: How did a no-account like Jerome Johnson get press credentials and an expensive Bolex movie camera? How did his "girlfriend," who distracted Colombo so Johnson could get off his shot, get away? Why weren't the Colombos who killed Johnson immediately arrested?


I think if we knew the identity of the black woman with Johnson that would be the key to the case. I've heard it might have been Assata Shakur. Do any of you guys have a picture of the woman on that day?


The only pic of her I know of is a blurry one of her walking away from the scene but I can't find it. It might actually be in a Time Magazine article. I'll have to check. ~LisaB
