Serial killer targeting homeless people in Washington DC

WASHINGTON: A suspect involved in the killings of two homeless men in New York could also have been involved in other attacks this month.

According to three law enforcement sources involved with the inquiry, three other attacks on homeless individuals happened in Washington DC, one of which was fatal.

The attacks in Washington, D.C. occurred on March 3, 8, and 9. The third attack proved fatal, as the victim was discovered with gunshot and stab wounds in a blazing tent.

The inquiry is being assisted by the NYPD, the DC Metropolitan Police Department, and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

The DC Police Department has acknowledged that they are investigating the possibility that the attacks are linked.

Teams of cops and outreach workers have been warning persons experiencing homelessness to seek shelter, according to Newark police.

The most recent attack took place at Greenwich Street and Mary Street in New York City about 7 p.m. on Sunday. When he was fatally shot, a man was sleeping in a sack on the street.

The suspect in the incident is suspected of being involved in two other shootings on Saturday, one of which was fatal.

Both of the victims were shot in the city of New York.

According to investigators, the suspect appeared to approach the first two men on purpose and shoot them. The suspect was dressed entirely in black, with a black ski mask on his face.

Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers. A $10,000 prize is offered for information leading to an arrest.

The attacks were described as “horrific” by NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

“We need to find this person, and we need New Yorkers to help us,” he said.

According to Adams, a task force of officers and a homeless outreach team are focusing on discovering homeless persons in the subways and encouraging them to seek shelter at city-run shelters.

Due to an increase in crime, Adams has launched an intensive drive to cleanse the subways of homeless people.

143 people were detained in the first week, while 455 people were removed from subway trains and stops.
