SUSPECT WANTED: NYPD Hunt Intensifies After Two Deadly Robberies

Police are continuing the search for 31-year-old Jesus Acosta, who is wanted in connection with two deadly robberies just days apart.

The first incident reportedly happened Sunday at a fast-food restaurant on Rockaway Avenue in Brooklyn.

According to police, a gunman opened fire, killing a 44-year-old man and injuring another person.

Just two days later, another deadly shooting occurred at 149 Grill & Deli in the Bronx.

Authorities say a 33-year-old customer was killed after shots were fired inside the business.

Investigators believe the same suspect may be responsible for both incidents.

The shootings have left families grieving and local communities deeply shaken.

Police say Acosta has previously been arrested multiple times in the Bronx.

One of those arrests reportedly involved an attempted-murder charge in May 2015.

Those prior arrests are separate from the current allegations and do not establish guilt in these cases.

Authorities are now urging residents to remain alert while the manhunt continues.

Anyone who believes they have information about Acosta’s whereabouts should contact police.

The public should not attempt to approach or confront a wanted suspect.

For investigators, every credible tip could help bring the search closer to an end.

For the victims’ families, the priority is finding answers after two lives were suddenly taken.

Acosta remains wanted, and the allegations against him must ultimately be resolved through the legal system.

Until then, police are asking the community to stay vigilant and report any relevant information immediately.
