Kenneth Gleason, 23, has been charged with two counts of first degree murder according to NY Daily News. Police believe the shooting deaths of 59-year old Bruce Cofield and 49-year old Donald Smart were racially motivated. Gleason fired from his car and walked up to this victims, firing his gun again.

Gleason was arrested a few days ago for lesser charges before police connected him to the murders.
