The victim, who was shot in the arm, is in stable condition at Bellevue.
Shortly after, at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning, another man was shot while in a sleeping bag outside of 148 Lafayette Street. He was shot in the head and neck and was pronounced dead on the scene by EMS when he was discovered around 12 hours after the shooting.A nearby surveillance camera captured the second incident and showed the suspect.

Two people shot while sleeping on the streets, not committing a crime." He called the incidents a "clear and horrific intentional act" targeting homeless individuals.
