Man who shot sleeping women with a crossbow faces fresh charges after release
A 19-year-old who killed two women by firing a crossbow at their heads while they slept was arrested again on new allegations shortly after being freed.
The teenager used a crossbow bought online to shoot the victims in the head as they lay in his bed. After the murders, he spent several days living normally in his apartment, prompting neighbors to suspect something was amiss. Although sentenced to life imprisonment, he was released and soon confronted with additional criminal accusations while on provisional liberty.
Why it matters
The case shows how a violent offender can resume criminal activity soon after release, raising public safety concerns.
