A series of druggings and robberies — including two fatal overdoses — outside bars in 2022 left New York's gay community on edge.
The defendants, who range in age from 27 to 35, are accused of approaching intoxicated people outside of bars and nightclubs, where, according to the indictment, they would “offer and administer dangerous and illicit substances to them for the purpose of causing their incapacitation,” then rob them and, in two cases, left them to die. said, “Our entire city continues to mourn the tragic losses of Mr. Ramirez and Mr. Umberger.” He also addressed the fears that had spread following the killings.
The defendants, Jayqwan Hamilton, 35, Robert DeMaio, 34, Jacob Barroso, 29, Andre Butts, 27, and Shane Hoskins, 30, allegedly texted their plans to meet up before the robberies, earning them all conspiracy charges. All five are also charged with robbery, and face various counts of identity theft and grand larceny. Hamilton, DeMaio, and Barroso face one count of second-degree murder for Ramirez’ death; Hamilton and DeMaio are additionally charged with Umberger’s murder.
Before they met up to find a victim, the indictment said, the defendants often texted about their plans. The day before they allegedly fatally drugged Umberger, Hamilton and Hoskins messaged each other about going out that evening and discussed the possibility of rain. Hamilton texted, “Yeah I’m still going out idc. I got an umbrella n ambition,” and Hoskins agreed, according to the indictment.
