The suspect responsible for the shooting of four victims in Brooklyn and Queens boroughs of New York City has been identified and charged. Thomas Abreau, a 25-year-old man, is facing multiple charges including murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and attempted murder. The incident occurred on Saturday morning when Abreau allegedly drove an illegal scooter and randomly fired shots at pedestrians.
Abreau was seen leaving the 107th precinct in Queens on Sunday, wearing handcuffs and a jumpsuit. As he entered the vehicle, he flashed an odd smile, adding to the chilling nature of the crime. The chaos began when a 21-year-old man was shot in the shoulder in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. Shortly after, an 86-year-old man, identified as Hamoo Saeidi, was fatally shot in the back near 108th Street on Jamaica Avenue. Another shooting occurred, injuring a 44-year-old man in the cheek, and a 63-year-old man in the shoulder. All victims were taken to local hospitals, with three of them recovering from their injuries.

Police believe that Abreau also opened fire at another location, but fortunately, no one was injured. The motive behind the shootings remains unknown, as Abreau’s targets were seemingly random. Assistant Chief Joseph Kenny mentioned at a press conference that the victims had different demographics and backgrounds, indicating that Abreau did not specifically target anyone.
The New York Police Department is still investigating the incident and has not released any further details about the motive. The arrest of the suspect brings some relief to the affected communities, but the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of community safety and the need for stricter gun control measures..
