Arrests made in connection with drugging and murder of gay men in NYC.

A suspect has been arrested and charged with murder, robbery, identity theft, grand larceny, and conspiracy in connection to the deaths of two men who were drugged and assaulted at gay nightclubs in New York City. The deaths of John Umberger and Julio Ramirez were ruled as homicides after they were given fentanyl-laced drugs. Law enforcement officials are also looking for two other people in connection to the homicides. At least 43 incidents of drugging have been linked to robberies in and around Manhattan clubs dating back to September 2021, with seven of the incidents resulting in fatal overdoses.
