<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hirsch&#8217;s lawyer, Michael Horn, said that a warrant was issued for Grisch&#8217;s arrest after the grand jury&#8217;s proceeding on Wednesday. <br>However Horn said, the Queens District Attorney&#8217;s office &#8216;decided not to honor my professional courtesy to bring [Grisch] in whenever as possible, where&#8217;s necessary and they basically broke down his door last night and forced their way to a scared man who doesn&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on.&#8217; <br>The the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-queens-deliveryman-duck-sauce-shooting-murder-customer-arrested-20220602-pev36ao36vdwjclzhghpupy6t4-story.html" target="_blank">NY Daily News</a> reported that Hirsch has an extensive criminal history. He was arrested 9 times between 1995 and 2012, including one case of armed robbery, none of them disclosed as they are sealed. <br>&#8216;The [priors] are not relevant. We know that accusations are meaningless without any judication&#8230; The District Attorney is taking what I consider to be a thin case and trying to put as much garnish as possible to make the sandwich look bigger,&#8217; Horn said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yan, who worked seven days a week and held three jobs to support his family, had been working at the Great Wall restaurant for more than a decade prior to his death, 53-year-old employee Kai Yang told the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-queens-deliveryman-duck-sauce-shooting-murder-customer-arrested-20220602-pev36ao36vdwjclzhghpupy6t4-story.html" target="_blank">New York DailyNews</a>. <br>The suspect allegedly shot Yan after several altercations with the restaurant over the last year, which include one when he vandalized the eatery after being told that he would not get more duck sauce with his order. <br>A long term restaurant employee, Soi Chung, Hirsch in the past had &#8216;multiple&#8217; disputes with staff at the Great Wall Chinese Restaurant. He&#8217;d pulled a gun on staffers during one incident in January. In another incident last year saw the angry customer become peeved over the amount of duck sauce given to him in one of his orders which according to Chung <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/02/killing-of-chinese-food-delivery-man-in-queens-may-have-stemmed-from-duck-sauce-dispute/" target="_blank">spiraled into</a> a campaign of harassment, vandalism, and threats from the customer.<br>The animosity began one night when Hirsch came in and ordered some food, but things quickly turned when the customer deemed the amount of duck sauce he had received with his order to be unsatisfactory.<br>He left with the food but then came back and said &#8221;It&#8217;s not enough,&#8221; before walking up to the counter and demanded more food, more duck sauce.<br>An argument then ensued, prompting the restaurant owner to get involved.<br>Unsuccessful in his quest for more food Hirsch reportedly, walked out of the restaurant in a huff, before returning to vandalize the establishment with &#8211; the duck sauce. <br>&#8216;The guy left the restaurant, and later came back and threw the duck sauce, everything, all over the place,&#8217; Chung recalled. <br>By the time police arrived the belligerent customer was gone.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The bad blood escalated to the point Hirsch would sometimes be spotted waiting around outside, the establishment to harass the staff. He allegedly, would say to the owner, the delivery guy and to one of the chefs, &#8220;I remember you. I remember you,&#8221; according to the restaurant staff.<br>Twice he allegedly, vandalized employees vehicles, and once slashed the manager&#8217;s tires. <br>The peak of the threat was when Hirsch stood outside menacing employees with a gun at the forcing them to call 911. When he stepped inside, the staff overpowered and took him down<br></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Thursday, the suspect&#8217;s lawyer said, &#8216;If my client had an argument with the manager, then why is he having a fight or assaulted a delivery guy who everybody seems to like. There was no delivery.&#8217;<br>His client&#8217;s bail will be determined on Tuesday, Horn said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite Yan&#8217;s colleagues claims concerning Hirsch&#8217;s threatening behavior, it is currently unclear if the delivery man was a specific target. <br>Meanwhile, Yan leaves behind a wife and three children, aged two, 12, and 14.
