Day Four:Jose Cirino Misses His Flight

Jose Cirino was scheduled to leave the U.S. to return to Puerto Rico April 12th, 2007--the day Officer Lindsey was killed. He left for the airport around 5:30. His flight was scheduled to leave around 7:30 from Kennedy airport ...but Cirino went to Syracuse airport. He realized he was in the wrong airport once he and an airport employee looked at his ticket. He went to his uncle Francisco's house. It was around sunset when he got there.

Jose Cirino's mother is going to arrange for another flight. Jose Cirino leaves his uncle's house and goes to the Neilson Street home of a woman named Wanda. He walks there, alone. He can't remember when he got there but says Wanda, Julio and Wesley were there but doesn't know the last name of Wesley but says Wesley is a relative of Wanda. While at Wanda's, Jose Cirino played Playstation.

Jose Cirino admits smoking marijuana since age 12. He says he smokes daily, 'any time I can'. He smoked on April 12, 2007. Jose Cirino learned there were police officers outside the Neilson Street home when Wesley told him they were there. They were in the living room at the time. Cirino says Wesley entered the door from outside and told him police were outside. Jose Cirino learned a police officer was shot when Wesley told him--when Wesley came inside. Jose Cirino says he made no observations about Wesley's demeanor when he told him this information. Jose Cirino went to the window and saw the officers, then continued playing video games. Cirino went outside the house to smoke a cigarette.
