New York City's longest recorded homicide-free streak ended late Friday night, when a 28-year-old man was shot multiple times just before midnight.
Eric Roman was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition with gunshot wounds to his head, hand and leg and died Saturday, according to the NYPD.
New York City had gone 12 days without a homicide, its longest stretch on modern record, police said yesterday Monday.
The last reported homicide was February 1, Super Bowl Sunday, in Upper Manhattan, police said.
That
day, police responded to a 911 call about multiple shots being fired
and found five individuals with gunshot wounds, the NYPD said. One of
those five, Graham Shadale, 28, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have not yet made arrests in either case and both investigations are ongoing, officials said.
The
streak has been the longest since the New York Police Department began
recording statistics with a computerized program called Compstat in
1994, a police representative said.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton hushed talk of the streak Friday on "CBS This Morning."
"Shh
... we don't want to jinx it," Bratton told host Charlie Rose. "We're
into our 12th day now, Charlie. Eleven is a record and let's keep it
going."
Despite the record-breaking streak, there has been an uptick in shooting incidents compared with the same time period last year.
The
week between February 1 and February 8 experienced 110 shooting
incidents in 2015 versus 91 in 2014, according to Detective Cheryl
Crispin of the NYPD public information office.
New
York City's last record for a streak of days without a homicide was 10
days. In 2014, there were no recorded homicides between February 13 and
February 22.

#smh - We are worse off but no statistics and no reporting. People even say that God has called someone home when the person was murdered and our police don't carry investigations anymore they are guards in homes and escorting pdp everywhere. vote change! Vote Buhari.
Impressive!
My point is: why should you take another man's life in the first instance?!?
Are you f**king kidding me????
This is really insane. So this is how bad it goes over there?
I'll rather stay in Nigeria and watch people tear their PDP membership card ..... the bombing will soon be history that I know.

It simply shows that no place is safe...never knew they had such level of crime there, just pray will also celebrate a non killing weeks/months too...

America should be seriously looking into gun control. 110 gun attacks and it is not Boko haram?! They need to look into gun control.
