Praise da Lord! New York City goes 12 days without a murder
New York City's longest recorded homicide-free streak ended late Friday night, when a 28-year-old man was shot multiple times just before midnight.
Eric Roman was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition with gunshot wounds to his head, hand and leg and died Saturday, according to the NYPD.
New York City had gone 12 days without a homicide, its longest stretch on modern record, police said yesterday Monday.
The last reported homicide was February 1, Super Bowl Sunday, in Upper Manhattan, police said.
That
day, police responded to a 911 call about multiple shots being fired
and found five individuals with gunshot wounds, the NYPD said. One of
those five, Graham Shadale, 28, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have not yet made arrests in either case and both investigations are ongoing, officials said.
The
streak has been the longest since the New York Police Department began
recording statistics with a computerized program called Compstat in
1994, a police representative said.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton hushed talk of the streak Friday on "CBS This Morning."
"Shh
... we don't want to jinx it," Bratton told host Charlie Rose. "We're
into our 12th day now, Charlie. Eleven is a record and let's keep it
going."
Despite the record-breaking streak, there has been an uptick in shooting incidents compared with the same time period last year.
The
week between February 1 and February 8 experienced 110 shooting
incidents in 2015 versus 91 in 2014, according to Detective Cheryl
Crispin of the NYPD public information office.
New
York City's last record for a streak of days without a homicide was 10
days. In 2014, there were no recorded homicides between February 13 and
February 22.

Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill Touring Together As 'Hottest Rap Couple'
Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have the sexiest plans possible for Valentine's Day -- they're hooking up to make some serious paper together ... and this weekend is just the start. Sources close to Meek and Nicki -- who are dating now -- tell TMZ the couple is joining forces as the "Hottest Rap Couple" for appearances in NYC Saturday night, and again in Charlotte later this month. There's also talk of putting together a world tour.
We're told the couple wanted to do it together so they could, y'know -- make twice as much cheese touring as a package deal. Also, it's easier to hook up this way.
Although they're co-headlining ... make no mistake, Nicki's the bigger draw -- and we're told she's getting paid almost double what Meek makes. Of course, he still gets fringe benefits. i just love them!
