The shooting episodes are aimed at homeless people. The latest incident took place early in the morning of March 12 in New York City. The homeless men slept on the street and were shot without any prior provocation.
The previous shooting episodes in Washington DC happened on Thursday, March 3, around four o’clock at night in New York, Tuesday, March 8. In both of these cases, the victim survived. But on Wednesday, March 9, a man was found dead after being shot and stabbed several times.
Then came two incidents that had several common features, but this time in New York City. On March 12, 4.30 there was another shooting episode where a man survived, but at five the same night another homeless man was killed with several shots to the head and neck.
New York and Washington police believed the incidents and circumstances were so similar that they announced a joint investigation.
– Our homeless are among the most vulnerable, and an individual who hunts for them while they sleep is a heinous criminal. We will use all tools, all methods and all partners to bring the killer to justice, said police spokesman Keechant L. Sewell from the NYPD.
