Exclusive | 'Psychopath' art benefactor killed beloved NYC artist - and then shockingly shot himself: longtime partner
Briefly

Fashion designer Ryder Iwata expressed deep sorrow over the murder of his beloved partner, Sabina Rosas, emphasizing that the suicide of Thomas Gannon has robbed her family and friends of crucial answers about the tragic events at Shou Sugi Ban House. Iwata stated, "Unfortunately, it's a total miscarriage of justice that the man who killed her kind of got out of it. It's wicked and it's cowardly." His reflections underscore the complexity of loss and the devastating impact on those left behind.
Iwata revered Sabina Rosas as the "greatest love" of his life and shared how their relationship blossomed at Purchase College. He reminisced, saying, "She would call me just her person, her greatest friend. That's my person." The depth of their relationship and future plans together starkly contrasts with the horror of her untimely death, emphasizing the tragedy of losing someone so integral to his life.
Discussing the relationship dynamics, Iwata clarified that Thomas Gannon was not involved romantically with Rosas but was rather her art benefactor. He remarked on their brief encounter, stating, "I clocked that he was strange, and he turned out to be a psychopath." This statement not only sheds light on Gannon's disturbing character but also illustrates the precariousness of trust within artistic circles.
