Police in New York have appealed for help to identify a man who shot at least two homeless people, killing one as the victim slept on the street.
The attacker first shot a man, 38, in the US city's Lower Manhattan area early on Saturday, wounding him, investigators said.
Then shortly before 5pm, another man was found dead in a sleeping bag with gunshot wounds in his head and neck.
"The cases are clear and horrific," said Mayor Eric Adams, a former police officer, who urged witnesses to come forward.
Video surveillance footage captured that attack, showing the shooter firing at the second man as he slept at about 6am, shortly after the first incident.
On Sunday night, local media reported an attack on a third man, who also appeared to be homeless. He was found dead at around 7pm local time with a "possible gunshot wound," NBC New York reported, citing police.
Mr Adams described the shootings as senseless attacks on people "sleeping on the streets — not committing a crime, but sleeping on the streets."
He and the police urged New York's thousands of homeless people to contact city agencies that can help them find sleeping accommodation.
Homeless people moved out of subways
New York's homeless population has grown in recent years. Mr Adams announced a plan only weeks after taking office in January to move them out of the city's vast system of subway tunnels, where many sleep on cold nights.
His proposal drew sharp criticism from some non-governmental organisations.
"People only stay in the subway because they have no better place to go," said the Coalition for the Homeless.
The appeal comes after a stabbing at New York's Museum of Modern Art on Saturday, when a man leapt over a reception desk and stabbed two employees as they tried to flee.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
How much of your income do you need to save?
The more you save, the sooner you can retire. Tuan Phan, a board member of SimplyFI.com, says if you save just 5 per cent of your salary, you can expect to work for another 66 years before you are able to retire without too large a drop in income.
In other words, you will not save enough to retire comfortably. If you save 15 per cent, you can forward to another 43 working years. Up that to 40 per cent of your income, and your remaining working life drops to just 22 years. (see table)
Obviously, this is only a rough guide. How much you save will depend on variables, not least your salary and how much you already have in your pension pot. But it shows what you need to do to achieve financial independence.
The Africa Institute 101
Housed on the same site as the original Africa Hall, which first hosted an Arab-African Symposium in 1976, the newly renovated building will be home to a think tank and postgraduate studies hub (it will offer master’s and PhD programmes). The centre will focus on both the historical and contemporary links between Africa and the Gulf, and will serve as a meeting place for conferences, symposia, lectures, film screenings, plays, musical performances and more. In fact, today it is hosting a symposium – 5-plus-1: Rethinking Abstraction that will look at the six decades of Frank Bowling’s career, as well as those of his contemporaries that invested social, cultural and personal meaning into abstraction.
