Three men are on trial in New York City for their alleged involvement in a series of overdose deaths linked to drug-facilitated thefts in gay nightclubs. The gang reportedly used fentanyl to incapacitate young men and then robbed them of valuables, including cash, credit cards, and phones. The trial highlights the crime wave that swept through popular nightlife venues, causing fear among patrons. Key victims, including a political consultant and a social worker, died from overdoses, while others survived the harrowing encounters, prompting an outcry for justice.
Assistant District Attorney Emily Ching described the suspects as a gang stealing from intoxicated men, incapacitating them with fentanyl before robbing them, leading to fatal overdoses.
The gang, labeled 'callous' by prosecutors, left victims unresponsive, allowing them to die, then shamelessly spent the stolen money on various luxury items.
