NEW YORK (AP) — The mayors of New York City and Washington D.C. are appealing to the public for help in an urgent search for a gunman who has been stalking homeless men asleep on their streets, killing at least two people and wounding three others in less than two weeks. Police in the two cities released multiple surveillance photographs, including a close-up snapshot clearly showing the man’s face. Investigators acknowledged, though, that they still knew little about the suspected killer or his motive. Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Eric Adams urged anyone living on the streets to go to city shelters where they might be safe.
