Police Identify Three Suspects in NYC Gay Bar Druggings and Killings

Three suspects have been identified in connection with the deaths of two men who visited Manhattan gay bars and were found dead from acute intoxication. The suspects are believed to be part of a robbery ring responsible for at least 17 robberies in the borough. The victims were targeted for money, not their sexual orientation, but the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force continues to investigate the potential bias factor. The deaths may be linked to two separate ongoing overdose robbery patterns, with at least five deaths in total. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers.
