The killer, dressed entirely in black and wearing a black mask, followed the young technology entrepreneur from the elevator of his luxury condo building into his apartment. Then he fired a single bullet that hit the entrepreneur, Fahim Saleh, in the back of the head. Sometime after, the assailant decapitated Mr. Saleh and dismembered his body with an electric saw. That was the chilling account that a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation gave on Wednesday as investigators continued scrutinizing evidence in the shocking killing of Mr. Saleh, 33, whose body parts were found Tuesday in plastic garbage bags in his apartment on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. On Wednesday, the police continued their investigation at the building and inside Mr. Saleh’s apartment, a seventh-story unit that he bought last year for $2.25 million, public records show, and for which he expressed his affection on Instagram.
