Overview

• Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced charges of attempted criminal possession of a chemical or biological weapon, placing a false bomb or hazardous substance, and falsely reporting an incident.
• The December 2024 item outside the NYPD’s 6th Precinct was a plastic bottle with a note, and city environmental experts found vinegar and bleach at non-toxic levels.
• The note referenced a stabbing of a “Mr. Jones” in Suwanee, Georgia, and warned of a second device at Yeager International Airport, where a search found nothing.
• Searches of Delano Hill’s Suwanee residence recovered a 24-page document describing the precinct incident and the killing of Matthew Jones, leading to a June 2025 murder indictment in Gwinnett County after Hill’s March arrest.
• Hill remains in Georgia custody and has not been extradited or arraigned in Manhattan, and prosecutors emphasize that all charges are allegations pending court proceedings.
