A second suspect, Robert Demaio, has been arrested and charged with murder, robbery, grand larceny, identity theft, and conspiracy in connection with a string of drug-facilitated robberies of men who visited gay bars in New York City that included two deaths. Demaio's arrest follows the arrest of Jacob Barroso on Saturday, who was charged with murder, robbery, grand larceny, and conspiracy in connection with another death. Police believe the two men, along with a third suspect, are responsible for a broader "citywide robbery pattern" that includes at least 17 victims.

Suspect in NYC Gay Bar Drugging Scheme Arrested on Murder Charges

Jacob Barroso, a 30-year-old man from Connecticut, has been arrested and charged with murder, robbery, grand larceny, and identity theft in connection with a series of killings and robberies at Manhattan gay bars that have terrorized the city’s LGBTQ community. Barroso is the third person to be charged in connection with the robberies and the first to be charged with murder. The victims were typically intoxicated men who were robbed of their cellphones, and the perpetrators then used the cellphones to transfer large amounts of money into their own bank accounts. The crimes have had a singular impact on the city’s tightknit LGBTQ community, whose members tend to frequent a relatively small number of bars whose names are often known throughout the city.

Fashion Designer's Death Ruled Homicide Due to Drug Overdose.

The death of New York fashion designer Kathryn Marie Gallagher has been ruled a homicide by the city's medical examiner, who concluded that she died of acute intoxication caused by a mixture of fentanyl, p-pluorofentanyl and ethanol. Investigators also ruled her manner of death as "drug-facilitated theft", which indicates someone may have drugged her to steal something. Police are investigating whether Gallagher was intentionally given a dangerous mixture of drugs by someone attempting to rob her. Her death is similar to 26 other deaths in the city over the past year that have been attributed to "drug-facilitated theft".
