<\/p>\nThe irate customer who allegedly gunned down a hard-working Chinese food delivery man in a cold-blooded attack in Queens \u2014 which stemmed from a dispute about duck sauce that led to a months-long reign of terror \u2014 was busted late Wednesday, cops announced Thursday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Glenn Hirsch, 50, was picked up on a warrant at his Briarwood apartment around 8 p.m. Wednesday and charged with murder, as well as criminal possession of a loaded firearm in connection to the April 30 slaying of the 45-year-old Zhiwen Yan, authorities said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this case seemed simple at the onset, because we did develop the suspect early on, you know developing enough evidence to rise to the level of probable cause took some time to do,\u201d NYPD Lt. John Russo said at a police briefing on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did it take from April 30 until now when, at the face, it seemed we knew who he was right away?\u201d Russo said. \u201cWell, you know, we want to ensure we get the right person and we have a prosecutable case.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cops revealed that Hirsch was caught on surveillance footage circling the Queens restaurant for an hour on the night of the shooting \u2014 then seen following Yan in his car before he allegedly shot him dead.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Zhiwen Yan was making a delivery on his scooter around 9:30 p.m. when Glenn Hirsch allegedly shot him once in the chest.<\/p>\n

Glenn Hirsch, the man accused of murdering Chinese food delivery driver Zhiwen Yan, being walked out of the 122 Precinct on June 2, 2022.<\/p>\n
Police said they found eight guns at his estranged wife\u2019s home when they executed a search warrant around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, they said.<\/p>\n
They said Hirsch and his ex had parted ways amicably \u2014 although a neighbor said Hirsch showed up often and described him as \u201can a\u2013hole.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve heard him a bunch of times yelling at her,\u201d said the man, who asked to be identified only as Glenn. \u201cHe\u2019s an a\u2013hole. I\u2019ve just seen that guy treating her like s\u2013t. He speaks very loud. These walls are not the thickest walls in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never saw bruises on her, but that lady took a lot of verbal abuse from the guy,\u201d he said. \u201cIt makes me want to move.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were taking steps to make sure he didn\u2019t flee the area,\u201d Russo said.<\/p>\n
Hirsch had an ongoing beef with staff at Great Wall on Queens Boulevard \u2013 bombarding the restaurant with phone calls and even calling 911 on them \u2013 when he took his anger out on Yan, police said.<\/p>\n
Police said a grand jury voted to indict Hirsch on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
He was arraigned Thursday in Queens Supreme Court and charged with second-degree murder, weapons possession, stalking and menacing and ordered held without bail.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs alleged, a petty dispute over a take-out order became an obsessive point of contention for the defendant, who began to stalk and harass employees at the restaurant for months,\u201d Queens DA Melinda Katz said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe tragic end result was the murder of a hard-working employee who left behind a devastated family and a grieving community,\u201d Katz said. \u201cGun violence is never the answer and will not be tolerated in\u00a0Queens County.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yan, a married father of three who migrated from China about 20 years ago, was making a delivery on his scooter near 108th Street and 67th Drive in Forest Hills around 9:30 p.m. when Hirsch allegedly shot him once in the chest.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all relieved that someone has been arrested,\u201d Yan\u2019s heartbroken widow, Eva Zhao, said in a statement released Thursday through her attorney.<\/p>\n
