TL;DR

Police have named three suspects in connection to the homicides of two men who were drugged, robbed and killed in separate incidents following visits to New York City gay bars last year. The suspects are also believed to be involved in a broader "citywide robbery pattern" that includes a total of 17 incidents. The medical examiner's office ruled their deaths as homicides caused by a "drug-facilitated theft." The suspects are believed to be targeting victims for financial gain and not because of their sexual orientation. The New York City Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force is assisting in the investigation.
