WANTED FOR HOMICIDE AND ROBBERY: NYPD Searches for Jesus Acosta

The NYPD is asking for the public’s help in locating Jesus Acosta, who is wanted in connection with a fatal shooting and a separate robbery.

Police say the first incident occurred on August 23 inside 842 Rockaway Avenue in Brooklyn.

A 44-year-old man was fatally shot during the incident.

Two days later, on August 25, another robbery was reported at 143 East 149th Street in the Bronx.

Investigators are now working to determine the full circumstances surrounding both cases.

For the families of those affected, the violence has brought unimaginable pain and loss.

Authorities are urging anyone who may have information about Acosta’s whereabouts to come forward.

Members of the public should not approach or confront him.

Instead, any information should be provided directly to law enforcement.

Tips can be submitted anonymously through NYPD Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

A single piece of information could help investigators locate the person they are seeking.

The investigation remains ongoing, and Acosta should be considered an accused suspect unless and until proven guilty in court.

The priority now is to help authorities locate him safely and allow the justice system to determine what happened.
