The first suspected murder happened in July, when Dominican Republic man Yeiral Batista Sena was found dead in his room at the Fort Burt Hotel, according to Police Information Officer Diane Drayton. The post-mortem in that case revealed the cause of death to be a gunshot wound, she said.
No suspects have been named in either shooting. One person was detained in relation to Mr. Sena’s death, but was later released with no charges, Ms. Drayton said.
The crimes are the first murders since May 2013, when Melbourne Francis was gunned down near the Stickett in East End. Mr. Francis had been scheduled to testify in an attempted-murder trial involving another time he was shot in March 2011.
There were three recorded murders in 2012 and three in 2011.
