Man, even the article can't get the story straight...
"NYPD can't find knife"...
"the department put out a request seeking the public's help to find the knife"...
"a man believed to have swiped the suspect's knife"...
"Video circulating on social media appears to show the man scoop up the knife"...
OK, that's all consistent...
"the NYPD posted on X that the knife had been "recovered" following the police shooting."
Um, no.
"Below is a picture of the weapon recovered from the scene of today’s incident. pic.twitter.com/D3AZjNr4cL

Recovered? But then...
"Now, they are seeking the individual potentially in possession of the weapon"... Did you or did you not recover the weapon?
"the now-missing knife"... OK, so NOT recovered.
The current position of the NYPD is that some random black guy wandering past a crime scene after the cops shot up a crowd decided to steal the knife that the cops considered to be key evidence. This is, to put it mildly, somewhat less credible than the claim that a crow tried to steal a murder weapon.
Honestly I find Russian general's belief in a 3 day offensive more credible than that.
Nearly 1000 days later, even.
