(Washington, DC) -- Authorities are looking for a man who's shooting homeless people in New York City and Washington, DC.

The NYPD says the suspect shot two homeless men in Manhattan early Saturday morning in separate attacks about 90 minutes apart. One of the victims was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities believe the suspect is the same man who shot three homeless people in separate attacks in Washington, DC earlier this month, killing one. The DC Police Department has released surveillance photos of the suspect.

The mayors of both cities have released a joint statement saying a "cold-blooded killer" is on the loose.
