Arizona Prosecutor Defies Manhattan DA, Refuses Extradition of SoHo Hotel Murder Suspect

Police in Arizona captured Raad Almansoori, the suspect in the murder of a Queens woman at a Soho hotel, after a dramatic car chase and arrest captured on bodycam footage. A legal dispute has erupted between Arizona and Manhattan prosecutors over his extradition, with the Arizona prosecutor refusing to send him back to New York due to concerns about the Manhattan DA's approach to keeping him behind bars. Almansoori is also charged with violent attacks in Arizona and is being held without bail, confessing to the Manhattan murder and the Arizona incidents.
