By Monday morning, Thomas Gilbert Sr.’s murder was making headlines from coast to coast. The widely reported motive, from an unnamed police source, was that he’d cut his ne’er-do-well son’s allowance.

RICH DAD SHOT DEAD—TYCOON’S SON NABBED IN E. SIDE HORROR, trumpeted the New York Daily News. “SLAIN” BY SCION. SON “SHOOTS” HEDGE-FUNDER was the New York Post’s headline. PRINCETON GRADUATE, 30, SHOT DEAD HIS $200M HEDGE FUNDER FATHER, roared the MailOnline.

“A wealthy hedge-fund chief was gunned down by his adult son after he threatened to cut his allowance by $100 a week and stop paying his steep rent,” reported the Daily News. “Spoiled manchild Thomas Gilbert Jr., 30, flew into a murderous rage when he confronted his fed-up dad, Thomas Gilbert Sr., 70, over the downsizing of financial support, police said.”

Charlie Suk, the owner of Cleaner de la Mode on First Avenue, was reported as last seeing Tom Gilbert on Saturday morning.

“It’s so sad,” Suk told the DNAInfo website. “He said, ‘Happy New Year!’ He brought in two pairs of pants and I still have them.”

Gilbert’s neighbor Pierre Gazarian told NPR that Tom Gilbert was “incredibly courteous [and] elegant.”

“In a building in New York City,” he said, “a lot of people barely say hello to each other. That makes the loss for some of us that much more painful.”
