Police Search for Gunman Accused of Shooting at Least 5 Unhoused People

HeadlineMar 14, 2022

Police are looking for an unidentified gunman who shot at least five unhoused people in New York and Washington, D.C., in recent days, killing two of his victims in Lower Manhattan. A third killing of an unhoused man in New York over the weekend is being investigated. This comes just weeks after Mayor Eric Adams launched a “zero-tolerance policy” for unhoused people sheltering in New York City’s subway system, even as housing advocates warned the move could push more people into the streets.
