Allegedly, the New York serial killer responsible of three murders has been caught. Salvatore Perrone, a garment salesman was arrested for systematically shooting his victims in Brooklyn.

During a court appearance in Brooklyn, he denied killing the victims. Perrone's lawyer, Attorney Ken Jones have met with his client and feels that he feels no remorse for the murders,"as though he could have some mental-health issues."

The Staten Island resident was recognized by a pharmacy worker from surveillance videos that have been released of a balding man leaving the scene of the crimes. Another person said that the suspected murderer came into their shop and asked if they closed the shop alone. Commissioner Raymond Kelly said, "It's reasonable to assume he was going to keep doing this, and, by arresting him, we saved lives," Kelly said.

According to Kelly, authorities found a duffel bag with a sawed-off rifle and .22-caliber ammunition, black gloves, women's clothing, a bloody knife and a bottle of bleach were found at Perrone's girlfriend's home.

Perrone's fingerprint was lifted from the murder weapon, Commissioner Kelly said. Perrone,64 (celebrated his birthday on Thanksgiving) will be assigned a new lawyer when her returns to court on Tuesday.

Previously, the suspected serial killer has a violent background. The divorced father has been documented for harassing and stalking his ex-girlfriend, and had been charged for burglary and several DUIs in Staten Island and New Jersey.
