NEW YORK, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Police in New York have identified the man believed to have killed Wai Kuen Kwok by pushing him in front of a subway car in the Bronx Sunday morning.
According to investigators, Kevin Darden, a homeless Bronx man with a lengthy rap sheet, pushed Kwok to his death before escaping onto a city bus.
After exiting the bus only a few blocks from the East 167th Street station where Kwok was killed, Darden bought a single "loosie" cigarette at small grocer, smoked it and disappeared.
"He seemed calm," Deimer Alvarez, a nearby deli worker, told the New York Post.
"He seemed relaxed. But maybe that's why he bought the cig -- to relax."
Darden's criminal past includes over 30 arrests for robbery, assault, attempted arson and various drug charges. The 34-year-old's most recent arrest came earlier in November, when he was picked up for allegedly pickpocketing in Midtown.
