The New York City Police Department (NYPD) has named three suspects in connection to the homicides of two men who were drugged, robbed, and killed in separate incidents following visits to New York City gay bars last year.
The NYPD is asking for the public’s assistance to find Jayqwan Hamilton, 35, Robert Demaio, 34, and Jacob Barroso, 30, who they believe are connected to the homicides of John Umberger, a 33-year-old political consultant, and Julio Ramirez, a 25-year-old social worker.
Umberger and Ramirez were both found dead after visiting gay bars in the city’s lively Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood last spring. Between September 2021 and August 2022 a total of 17 incidents occurred that are “being investigated as part of this pattern at this time,” the NYPD told CBS News on Saturday.
The NYPD is asking anyone with information on the whereabouts of the three suspects to contact the department. They are also asking anyone who may have been a victim of a similar crime to come forward.
The NYPD is committed to bringing justice to the victims of these crimes and is urging anyone with information to come forward. The department is also working to ensure the safety of the LGBTQ+ community in New York City.
