A Brooklyn grand jury has indicted a handyman in the deaths of three elderly women who lived in the same public housing complex, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney.
Kevin has been charged with first and second degree murder in connection with three killings that prosecutors say took place between 2015 and 2021. Authorities say all three women lived in the New York City Housing Authority’s Carter G. Woodson Houses in Brooklyn.
According to prosecutors, the first woman, 82 year old Myrtle, was stabbed on November 8, 2015. Jacolia, 83, was allegedly strangled on April 30, 2019. Juanita, 78, was allegedly strangled with a phone cord on January 14, 2021. Police said surveillance video showed Kevin using Juanita’s bank and benefit cards, which led to his arrest on January 21. Investigators have not said whether the women were targeted because of their ages.
Kevin was ordered held without bail on Tuesday. If convicted, he faces a life sentence. His next court date is July 6. The charges are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
In a statement, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez described the case as one in which three elderly neighbors welcomed a man into their homes and were allegedly harmed by him.
