NYC Gang Preying On LGBTQ+ Community, Two Men Killed [View all]

A New York City gang has raised fears among the LGBTQ+ community following the deaths of two men, RadarOnline.com has learned.

A group of two to three men is at the center of attacks that are targeting the community. The gang is suspected of luring victims from nightclubs and bars in the Hell's Kitchen district, drugging them, and then robbing them — even using victims' own cellphones as means to drain their bank accounts.

However, no arrests or charges have been brought against the suspects.

33-Year-old John Umberger, a political consultant from Washington D.C., and Julio Ramirez, 25, both went missing under eerily similar circumstances in May and April 2022, respectively.

Both men were last seen enjoying the city's gay scene. When their bodies were discovered both were without cellphones and each had thousands stolen from their bank accounts.
