Bronx arrest ends NYC double-killer manhunt; suspect greets cops with prayer

TL;DR Summary
A 31-year-old parolee, Jesus Acosta, wanted by the FBI for two NYC robberies-murders, was captured by the NYPD in a Bronx park after a weekend manhunt. After arrest, he told reporters “God is good, God is great” as he was taken to Bronx Criminal Court. The killings occurred in Brooklyn (a Wings & Pizza worker killed and another wounded) and at a Bronx bodega customer, with authorities characterizing the incidents as robberies. Acosta had been released from prison in April after serving 10 years for assault and felony gun possession, and the FBI and a small-venue advocacy group had posted rewards; victims’ families have begun fundraising efforts.
