New York City’s longest recorded homicide-free streak ended on Friday the 13th, when a 28-year-old man was shot multiple times just before midnight, according to CNN.
Eric Roman was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition with gunshot wounds to his head, hand and leg and died Saturday, said the NYPD.
New York City had gone 12 days without a homicide, its longest stretch on modern record, police said Monday.
The last reported homicide was February 1, Super Bowl Sunday, in Upper Manhattan, police said.
Tim’s Take
It’s very sad that 12 days of no homicide is such a marvelous record.
That’s the reality. I think it was the best record since the 90’s…
