A search is underway for a gunman who has been stalking and shooting homeless men sleeping on the streets of Washington, D.
New York Police Department
The killer's motive — if any — was unknown and authorities turned their attention Monday to trying to offer what protections they could to homeless people who might become targets. “Our shelters have space and are ready to welcome residents needing a place to stay," the flyers stated. Simone and other advocates for the homeless called on the city to use vacant hotel rooms for temporary shelter for those who would rather stay on the streets rather than opt in dormitory-style housing.The earliest known shooting happened at around 4 a.m. on March 3 in Washington D.C., police said, when a man was shot and wounded in the city's Northeast section. A second man was wounded on March 8, just before 1:30 a.m.
He said he was “pained” to learn of “a guy who lived on the streets who probably was minding his own business getting murdered for no reason.” Police determined the same person committed the attacks based on the similarities of each shooting and evidence recovered from the scenes. The victims were attacked without provocation, police said.“Obviously, this is a very sobering and evolving story. We don’t have a suspect in custody yet, of course. And so we’re very concerned about the safety of our neighbors who are without homes, and are sleeping outside right now,” said James Winans, the mission's chief executive officer.
