The Metropolitan Police Department in D.C. told NBC that a suspect has been apprehended and was being interviewed, but wouldn\u2019t detail how he was caught. \u201cA senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the case, however, says DC cops got a tip after releasing clear images and video of their suspect \u2014 and the NYPD got a tip about his name,\u201d NBC reported. \u201cBoth tips helped track the suspect \u2026 down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senior official told NBC that police officers followed the man before Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) took him into custody. The suspect was reportedly wearing clothes similar to those worn when he was caught on surveillance camera allegedly shooting the victims. The suspect had no weapon when he was taken into custody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestigators are now looking into why the man was out roaming the streets of DC overnight once again, wondering if he planned any additional attacks despite not having a gun on him when he was found. In both New York cases, the official said the suspect walked around the block and pulled the trigger after scouting the area,\u201d NBC New York reported.<\/p>\n<p>New York and D.C. authorities worked together to find the suspect, NBC Washington <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcwashington.com\/news\/local\/suspect-in-custody-in-killings-of-homeless-men-in-dc-nyc\/2999428\/\">reported<\/a>. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Eric Adams previously asked for the public\u2019s help to find the shooter, whom they described as \u201cdepraved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a cold-blooded attack. When you look at the premeditative action of this shooter, it sends a clear and loud message that we need the help from the public,\u201d Adams said at a news conference.<\/p>\n<p>The two mayors also warned homeless people in their cities about the danger and urged them to seek shelter. Police in D.C. even distributed flyers around where the shootings occurred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know this is a scary situation. We know that our unsheltered residents already face a lot of daily dangers and it is unconscionable that anybody would target this vulnerable population,\u201d Bowser said at the conference.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/theres-a-serial-shooter-loose-in-nyc-and-dc-police-say-its-the-same-man\">reported<\/a>, a series of shootings occurred this month in New York City and Washington, D.C., and authorities connected the same man to all of them.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting spree began in D.C. on Thursday, March 3, at around 4 a.m. when police received a call from residents hearing gunshots. They discovered a wounded man with gunshot wounds who was then transported to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, on March 8, police received another call about a shooting. Another wounded adult male was found with gunshot wounds and transported to a local hospital. He, too, had non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, March 9, at around 2:54 a.m., a policeman in Northeast D.C. saw a fire and called D.C. Fire, who extinguished it. When the fire was put out, police found the remains of an adult male. An autopsy revealed that he had been stabbed and shot multiple times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn all three offenses, the victims appear to be individuals experiencing homelessness. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating these cases as being related.\u00a0The suspect was captured by a surveillance camera,\u201d the D.C. police said in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mpdc.dc.gov\/release\/suspect-sought-shooting-offenses-district\">a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Rincon, a reporter for CBS New York, said that the first attack in New York City occurred on Saturday, March 12. The next shooting occurred on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA day after two homeless New Yorkers were shot, one of them killed, another homeless man has been found dead near the WTC. Police say the 42-year-old man was known to them, and officers had spoken with him at 6 this morning. At around 6:30p he was found dead,\u201d Rincon tweeted.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
