The 41-year-old man was found around 6:30 p.m. Sunday evening. Police officials initially said he had died of a gunshot wound on his right leg, but had walked that back by Monday morning. The report of a gunshot led to suspicion that the victim may have been among those targeted by a suspect authorities believe has been targeting people experiencing street homelessness in New York and Washington.
The NYPD said the man had some sort of puncture wound, though it wasn’t clear whether or not it was from a gun or if it contributed to the man’s death. They also said they found drug paraphernalia at the scene and thought the man could have possibly died from an overdose, according to information provided by the NYPD. The city’s medical examiner didn’t return a request for comment immediately.
The man’s discovery came as NYPD Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell and Washington D.C Chief of Police Robert Contee announced they were on the hunt for a man who shot five homeless people in both cities and killed two of them — one in New York City on Saturday morning and one in D.C. on March 9th. All the attacks took place in the predawn hours while the men were sleeping.
