A suspect in the serial killing and shooting of homeless people in the Big Apple and Washington, DC, was arrested early Tuesday in the capital, police announced.
The gunman – identified by a high-ranking police official as Gerald Brevard III, 30 – was busted when investigators showed up at his home in the southeastern section of the capital, law enforcement sources said.
*** The arrest came just hours after the force released clear facial photos of the prime suspect who has been tied to two murders and three attempted homicides targeting homeless men in both cities.
The same man was linked to both cities after chilling video footage caught the cold-blooded slaying of one of two homeless people shot in Soho on Saturday.
A Metropolitan Police Department homicide captain — who used to live in the Big Apple — saw surveillance photos and realized they looked like the man his department was also chasing.

The first linked attack was on March 3 in DC, which was followed by two more shootings there, including the first fatality, who was found dead in a burning tent in the early hours of March 9.
He was initially thought to have suffered fatal burns, but a subsequent autopsy revealed that the man had died of multiple stab and gunshot wounds.

Oh no! The serial killer comes from the same demographic that commits over 50% of the murders in this country. This story will be buried in order to protection of the narrative.

Stats aside, "fry him."
That’s some really good Police work, to get it all done so quickly.
I feel better knowing these people are protecting us.
Well, at least he isn’t a White Supremacist!
He was on “supervised probation?” Some supervision.
I’m surprised. I thought from the security cam footage he was white.
Not surprised.
What the heck is with the cop’s pants? Hole, scarf, undies?
A high-ranking police official. Gee, wonder how he got that?
Might be a wise idea to check these obvious losers for mental incompetence and illness while in custody before releasing as they ALL have it.
But he was on his way to turning his life around. He was going to divinity school. He was active looking for a job, really. He was a joy to his family, even while smoking meth.
Etc.

We do weird shit, like make lampshades out of girls...
Looks like gloves to me.
That's just what the left wants you to believe.
It’s hard to get all the images properly processed before the public gets a hold of them.
There are many photos of the perp that are not properly whitened.
