“Gerald Brevard arrested for homeless shootings’; lights-kinned black or what, N.S.?

(nytv-4)A 30-year-old man suspected of shooting five homeless men in New York City and Washington, D.C., in a targeted and at times deadly attack spree was arrested early Tuesday following a multistate manhunt, according to officials in both cities and a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the case.

Police declined to describe the circumstances of his arrest or any immediate charges. A 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 -- and the NYPD got a tip about his name. Both tips helped track the suspect down.

Officers staked the man out and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents took him into custody, the senior official said. He was wearing similar clothes as he had worn when he allegedly shot the victims in Manhattan Saturday, the official said, but had no weapon on him.

Investigators 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.

The senior official identified the suspect as Gerald Brevard, whose record includes at least one past assault on a woman in Virginia. Brevard, the official said, was apprehended in D.C. and was being questioned there through the morning. No other details have been released at this point regarding him or a possible motive.

The suspect had been eyed in at least five attacks on homeless people in Manhattan and Washington, D.C., in a nine-day span. The first attack in the pattern came March 3; the latest two were the ones Saturday in New York City.
