According to law enforcement sources, it comes after he began a relationship romantically with Gaal, before the affair went sour.
New York Post reports that it is now confirmed that he was not officially identified as a person-of-interest or suspect in the brutal shooting.
Sources say that it is not clear when the couple’s relationship began or ended, but it is believed that he would be able to gain entry to the house without breaking into it.
Due to the violence of the crime, authorities believe that Gaal was the victim and that the attacker knew Gaal. They also suspect that the attack on Gaal was personal.

An anonymous source of law enforcement said: “[Detectives] don’t think it was a planned murder,”A law enforcement source stated that.
“He left a blood trail for five blocks from the house,”According to the source.
“It was like a trail of bread crumbs.
“If you want to kill somebody, you try to make it a little cleaner, be a little more prepared. He didn’t go with something to move her body. He took something from the house.
“I’m sure with that kind of blood, there’s lots of DNA there,”The source also said. “The killer’s DNA has gotta be in that blood. It’s not a clean scene.”
It has been reported that Gaal’s 13-year-old son was home when the police arrived to the property on Saturday morning after the body was discovered.
Her husband and 17-year-old son were on a college tour at the time of the incident.
