An alleged serial shooter being hunted by law enforcement after three attacks left two people dead in New York City was arrested early Tuesday, according to a report. Sundance Oliver, 28, surrendered at a precinct after NYPD officers “blanketed” the city in an effort to stop the crimewave, PIX11 reports. Oliver is suspected of shooting a 17-year-old girl in the chest, who later died of her injuries. Her death was the third attack officers attributed to Oliver in less than 15 hours. At 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Oliver allegedly tried to rob a woman at gunpoint, firing a round that missed the woman and hit a 96-year-old man in the ankle. After fleeing on foot, he then allegedly shot a 21-year-old man in the chest five hours later. That victim died at the hospital. “Based on evidence collected at all three crime scenes and a number of investigative steps, it has been determined that the shooter is the same in all three of these incidents,” NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at a Tuesday press briefing.
