MANHATTAN — Police have arrested a possible suspect in the weekend slaying in Gramercy of two murder witnesses, the New York Daily News reported.
The suspect was taken in on an outstanding warrant about 1 a.m. after he was stopped driving with a broken taillight in a car that had been linked to the double murder, the News said.
Police have not yet released the name of the suspect, who has so far refused to cooperate with police, according to the News.
However police sources did tell the News that the victims, Terrance Serrano, 22, and Rashawn Washington, 26, were not likely killed because of their status as murder witnesses.
Serrano and Washington were being pursued by police to speak about two separate murders in Coney Island that they had reportedly witnessed. Both men had refused to cooperate.
Instead, sources told the News that the men were killed over a conflict Serrano had with his child's mother, whose brother is a member of a gang in Coney Island, where both men were from.
