Devil-mask-wearing man killed 62-year-old at NYC senior center
2020-05-21
[NYPOST] A Brooklyn man donned a devilish Halloween mask before infiltrating a senior center and shooting a 62-year-old dead in his bed, police sources said Wednesday.
"Miss Marple, to the white courtesy phone!"
Gregory Spears, 39, wore a horned-devil mask as he knocked on the door to alleged victim Angel Medina’s 14th-floor apartment in the Langston Hughes Senior Center in Brownsville around 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, sources said.
"No one will know me if I wear this here horned devil mask!"
Medina’s wife answered and led Spears to the bedroom —
"Honey, there's someone here to see you! I dunno who it is. He's wearing a horned devil mask!"
"Bring him right in, sugar plum!"

where he whipped out a pistol and blasted Medina several times in the torso, fatally wounding him.
"Agh! I am undone! And I don't even know by who!"
"'By whom, dear!"

It was unclear what sparked the dispute between the two — or why the mask-wearing alleged killer was allowed in.
"Well, he looked okay, except for the mask!"
When cops arrived, they found Medina face down on the bed with multiple gunshot wounds to the torso, police said.
Probably because that's where the Masked Marauder shot him...
EMS could not save the man and he died in the Langston Hughes Senior Center, cops said.
"He's dead, Jim!"
Spears was identified by witnesses and collared Wednesday.
"You there! In the horned evil mask! Halt or I'll go downtown to procure a warrant!"
He was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
If they can't get him on one, they're sure to get him on the other.
Spears has been arrested 10 times, mostly on drug charges, and has been involved in five alleged domestic incidents, sources said.
Other than that, he's been a model citizen.
