Police say the shooter appears to be wearing the same outfit in both crimes.
Walker said both shootings were unprovoked and appear random, with no known similarities between the victims — and in both, there is no known motive.
“Just in both cases, they’re working-class people out there doing a job when they’re shot,” Walker said. Since both shootings occurred near elevated train tracks, police believe the suspect could be traveling by rail, he said.
