NEW YORK — The accused gunman busted early Tuesday for blasting sleeping homeless men in New York and Washington, D.C., was a methodical predator who shot three victims in the nation’s capital before heading north to find his last two targets, sources told the Daily News.
“He’s very meticulous in his planning,” a high-ranking NYPD source said of the suspect nabbed in Washington after a massive manhunt. “He wore a mask and a hood and blue surgical gloves ... There was a lot of consciousness in what he did.”
Suspect Gerald Brevard III, a 30-year-old D.C. resident, allegedly killed one homeless man and wounded two more in Washington, then took a train ride to New York to kill another sleeping man and wounding one more victim. The NYPD source indicated police believe there were no other victims.
