Police Seek Youth in Levin Slaying

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Police combed a poor section of New York City for a high school dropout wanted for questioning in the murder of the son of Time Warner Inc.’s top executive. Police sources said the youth was a former student of the slain man, Jonathan Levin, at Taft High School. Dozens of officers, some armed with automatic weapons, searched Brooklyn’s largely black Bedford-Stuyvesant district for the suspect and evidence linked to the crime. Levin, 31, the son of Time Warner chief executive and chairman Gerald Levin, was found Monday shot once in the head and stabbed in his one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. Police believe that he was murdered for his automatic teller machine card.
