Police in New York and Washington are on the hunt for a serial killer who is trying to find and kill homeless people. Police say that the homeless people have been targeted in the recent firing. Two of these have died. Let us tell you that since March 3, at least five homeless men have been shot in New York City and Washington, DC. In both the places, one homeless person each died. New York Mayor Eric Adams and Washington’s Muriel Bowser said in a joint statement on Sunday that the incident was heartbreaking and sad. He said that apart from the many letters that homeless people face, now they have to beware of even a murderer. It is worth noting that this killer is going out after midnight to kill the homeless people.
Police in both cities are investigating the massacre. At the same time, the NYPD has said that these cases will be jointly investigated. Police said a series of attacks began in Washington on March 3 when police found a homeless man in the northeast with gunshot wounds at 4 a.m. He was admitted to the hospital for treatment. Five days after that, another homeless person was injured in the firing around 1.20 pm. The next day, a fire broke out in a tent in the same area at 2.50 am, police said. The fire was extinguished and a dead body was recovered from inside with stab wounds and gunshot wounds. The post-mortem revealed the matter of murder.
