Official records show two Ohio businesses registered in the name of Sayfullo Saipov, the 29-year-old Tampa man police suspect of killing 8 people in Manhattan Tuesday afternoon. According to state records, a Sayfullo Saipov holds active business licenses for Sayf Motors Inc. in Symmes Township and Bright Auto LLC, a one-man trucking company listed in Stow, Ohio. Brook Carey, a woman at the apartment complex listed as the address for that Symmes Township business, said she remembered a man named Sayfullo Saipov living there in 2016.  "We've lived here for a little over two years and when you showed me the picture, (I knew) 'Yeah, that's him,'" Carey said. She described the apartment complex as a safe, gated community, making the revelation that a neighbor she described as "keeping to himself" was suspected in a mass murder even more unsettling. "I'm in complete shock, just total shock," Steve Newman, another neighbor, said. "I'm still in shock. It's hard to believe." The Washington Post reported another local woman said Saipov lived with her family in Cincinnati for his first two weeks in the country because their fathers were friends. She told the Post Saipov then moved to Florida.
