Bottle with note left at NYPD precinct helped solve a Georgia murder, prosecutors say

"According to the indictment, on Dec. 10, 2024, Hill placed a plastic bottle at the entrance of the 6th Precinct at 233 West 10th Street with a note on it. The note claimed the bottle contained chlorine gas, and that its author had stabbed an individual named "Mr. Jones" in Suwanee, Georgia, the indictment states. It states the bottle turned out to be filled with vinegar and bleach, which can produce chlorine gas"

""We have no tolerance for anyone who threatens or puts members of law enforcement in harm's way," Bragg said. "The defendant's actions against the NYPD are unacceptable and we will continue to pursue accountability in this matter." The note also said there was a second device planted at Yeager International Airport in West Virginia, but law enforcement searched the facility and no device was found, Bragg's office said."

Delano Hill, 20, of Suwanee, Georgia, was indicted in Manhattan on charges including attempted criminal possession of a chemical weapon, placing a false bomb or hazardous substance, and falsely reporting an incident. On Dec. 10, 2024, Hill placed a plastic bottle with a note at the entrance of the 6th Precinct claiming it contained chlorine gas and that the author had stabbed "Mr. Jones" in Suwanee. Experts found the bottle contained vinegar and bleach at non-toxic levels. The note referenced a second device at Yeager International Airport; none was found. Searches of Hill's home recovered a 24-page document describing the precinct bottle and the murder of Matthew Jones.
