BREAKING: A man suspected of shooting five homeless men in Washington, D.C., and NYC was arrested early Tuesday following a multistate manhunt, police said.
Contee said the two departments linked their homicide cases to one suspect after a captain in the Metropolitan Police Department, who is from Queens, New York, happened to be scrolling social media when he saw an image of the suspect in the killing there.
“As a result of an autopsy, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that the cause of death was multiple stab and gunshot wounds,” D.C. police said. At about 5 p.m., police responded to a 911 call reporting that a man had been shot in the head and neck. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses later reported hearing gunshots hours earlier, at about 6 a.m.
The death of a third man on Sunday was initially thought to be connected to the other attacks. NYPD officials familiar with the case
