"I happen to continuously scrape Citibike data every minute, so I can see where individual bikes go. The only northbound Citibike to leave within 10 minutes of the shooting from any dock near the hotel went to Madison Ave & E 82nd St," Riley Walz, who goes by @rtwlz on X, posted.

"Bike #421-6511 left the dock at 54 St & 6 Ave at 6:44 AM, and was docked at 6:52 AM at Madison Ave & 82nd St. This is the *only* bike that left within 10 minutes of the shooting and headed northbound," he added.

The X user noted that he had contacted the New York Police Department with the information. Authorities are still searching for the suspect as of Wednesday night.

The X user added that he realizes how crazy scraping Citibike data sounds. However, he revealed he was planning to do a data visualization experiment.

"can't believe my little data nerd experiment actually amounted to something in the real world," he added.
