Suspect Randy Rodriguez Santos
Just another nut case Democrat.
The accused killer, Randy Rodriguez Santos, 24, was himself homeless,
bouncing from a shelter in Brooklyn to his mother’s apartment in the
Bronx and even to a squalid, abandoned building next door to her
building.
Mr. Santos was formally charged with four counts of murder on Sunday,
but did not speak or enter a plea.
The grisly murders have prompted calls for the city to do more to help
an estimated 3,600 people living unsheltered and to address mental
illness.
Here’s what we know about Mr. Santos:
Early Saturday morning, Mr. Santos, walked through Chinatown
stalking men who lay on the ground. He swung a three-foot, 15-pound
metal pipe at their heads, killing four men, including 83-year-old
Chuen Kwok, whose surname is sometimes spell Kok. Another man was
critically injured.
The first attack happened at about 1:30 a.m., when a homeless man
asleep in front of 17 East Broadway was struck in the head and killed, according to a criminal complaint.
Minutes later, three men were attacked with a metal bar in front
of a pharmacy at 2 East Broadway near Chatham Square, an attack filmed
by a security camera. Two died.
Then at about 1:50 a.m., a fifth sleeping man was clubbed a block
north at Doyers Street and East Broadway; he also died. Two passers-by witnessed the last attack and called the police, who arrested Mr.
Santos at about 2 a.m. at Canal and Mulberry Streets, still carrying a
metal bar with blood and hair sticking to it.
People who knew Mr. Santos in the Bronx neighborhood where his
mother lives said he appeared to be unraveling mentally in recent
weeks. He had been doing odd jobs for his mother’s neighbors, Lydia
and Segundo Segarra, cleaning up debris in their yard, but stopped
showing up in late September.
“He seemed lost,” Mr. Segarra said. “He would forget that he just
saw you.”
The day before the attacks, residents of the building where Mr.
Santos’s mother lived saw him lying down in an empty hallway, possibly
trying to get his mother's attention to let him in. Mr. Santos,
generally quiet and affable toward neighbors, was withdrawn.
“He wasn’t making eye contact,” said Candy Santos, 41, who had no
relation. “He was just laying there. There was something in his eyes
that felt different. It’s like he wasn’t there.”
Mr. Santos had previously been accused in a string of violent
assaults targeting random people.
Much of his record is sealed, but he had most recently been
arrested in May, when he was kicked out of a men’s shelter in East
Flatbush. He pummeled another 24-year-old shelter resident in the
face. That case was dismissed.
A year ago, Mr. Santos choked a 55-year-old man and bit his breast
at an employment agency in the garment district in Manhattan, the
police said. He had leapt across the counter to attack the man. Four
days later, he was on a northbound Q train, between Canal Street and
Union Square stations, when he yelled out, “We need to stop it!” and
punched a 33-year-man in the eye.
He was charged with both assaults.
There were more incidents this year. On Feb. 25, police officers
spotted Mr. Santos enter the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station in
Brooklyn through an exit gate without paying and arrested him. At the
precinct, he spat on the floor toward a sergeant, the police said.
Less than a week later, he was arrested on a charge of groping a 19-year-old woman at the front door of her apartment building in
Jamaica, Queens.
His family in the Bronx had kicked him out. His mother, Fioraliza Rodriguez, told The Daily News she was afraid of him. “I never thought
he would kill someone,” she said. “I was afraid of him, though,
because he punched me. That’s when I told him to get out of my house.”
The Daily News also reported that Mr. Santos broke his
grandfather’s nose in 2016, and sneaked into the family’s home last
week and stole a watch, a phone and three phone chargers.
Denielda Jordan, a neighbor of Ms. Rodriguez, observed Ms.
Rodriguez refusing to let Mr. Santos into her apartment. But the
mother would give food to her son. “If your mother doesn’t let you in
the house, there’s a problem,” Ms. Jordan, 58, told The New York
Times.
The Post reported that Mr. Santos had been living in squalor
inside an abandoned house at 691 East 183d Street, near his mother’s
apartment.
Mr. Santos most recently worked in construction, a job he lost
because of excessive drug use, said Nelson Reyes, also a neighbor of
Ms. Rodriguez.
“He started smoking crack,” said Mr. Reyes, 39, in an interview
with The Times. “Then he started losing his mind.”
The police said Mr. Santos’s last known address was a shelter in
Brooklyn, the same shelter that kicked him out after he attacked
another young man.
But he was frequently seen eating the free breakfasts and lunches
served at the Bowery Mission, one of the city’s oldest aid
organizations, located about ten blocks north of Saturday’s murders.

No more pathetic creature has ever walked the earth. But...he is locked into a
mental hospital for the safety of the public.
Which is a very good thing."
