Police said early Tuesday they arrested a suspected gunman who has been stalking sleeping homeless men on the streets of New York City and Washington D.C., killing at least two people and wounding three others in less than two weeks.

“Early this AM, law enforcement arrested the suspect in Washington, DC. He is currently being interviewed at our Homicide Branch. Additional information will be forthcoming. Thanks to the community for all your tips,” DC police wrote on Twitter.

Police in the two cities earlier released multiple surveillance photographs, including a close-up snapshot clearly showing the man’s face, and urged people who might know him to come forward.
