rel=\"noopener\">Five men in New York City<\/a> were indicted on Tuesday for allegedly operating a scheme that involved drugging suspects before robbing, or even killing them, according to the Manhattan District Attorney.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, alongside Mayor Eric Adams and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/crime\/police-and-law-enforcement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York City Police<\/a> Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced the indictment of Jayquan Hamilton, 35, of Brooklyn; Robert Demaio, 34, of Brooklyn; Jacob Barroso, 29, of New Britain, Connecticut; Andre Butts, 27, of Brooklyn; and Shane Hoskins, 30, of New York City.<\/p>\n<p>All five suspects face charges of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/crime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first-degree robbery<\/a>, fourth-degree conspiracy and several other counts of identity theft and grand larceny.<\/p>\n<p><a

\u2018ROOFIE MURDER\u2019 VICTIMS DRAINED VIA FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to a press release from Bragg\u2019s office, the five men are accused of drugging individuals they met outside of bars and nightclubs so they could steal their cell phones, credit cards and other personal information.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton, Demaio and Barroso also face charges of second-degree murder.<\/p>\n<p>The press release said that from March 2021 to July 2022, the five men worked a scheme to forcibly steal property from their victims using drugs.<\/p>\n<p><a

their surroundings, the DA said, before taking their cell phones and credit cards, then conducting money transactions and dividing the proceeds.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, on April 8, 2022, Hamilton, Barroso, Butts and Hoskins allegedly approached a 22-year-old at a nightclub in midtown, entered the victim\u2019s apartment, offered the victim and another individual drugs, then stole a cell phone, laptop, wallet, credit card and prescription medications.<\/p>\n<p>In another incident on April 21, 2022, Hamilton and Barroso met Julio Ramirez outside of the Ritz Bar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Less than an hour later, they left him incapacitated in a cab,&#8221; the release read, adding that Ramirez died of a combination of drugs that included heroin, fentanyl and P-fluorofentanyl.<\/p>\n<p><a

MANHATTAN NIGHTCLUB ROBBINGS, DRUGGINGS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The suspects then are accused of taking several things from Ramirez, including a cell phone, before Demaio, who was charged as an accomplice, allegedly made several unauthorized transactions amounting to $3,200.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton and Butts were also accused of purchasing sneakers with credit card information stored on Ramirez\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n<p>The two men also allegedly met John Umberger on May 28th as he left The Q in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly an hour and a half later, Umberger was dead in his apartment with a combination of fentanyl, P-fluorofentanyl and other drugs in his system.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton is accused of taking thousands of dollars from Umberger\u2019s credit card accounts, while he and Butts allegedly made over $3,500 in unauthorized purchases.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation is ongoing, and the DA\u2019s office encourages anyone who believes they fell victim to similar incidents to call the helpline at 212-335-9040.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our entire city continues to mourn the tragic losses of Mr. Ramirez and Mr. Umberger,&#8221; Bragg said. &#8220;In addition to the pain their deaths have caused for their family and loved ones, I know that many other New Yorkers have feared for their own safety when going out to meet up with friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The DA\u2019s office also said it has an ongoing investigation into a separate string of fatal overdoses, which ultimately lead to the December 2022 indictment of Kenwood Allen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a
