COPS: LONG ISLAND PHARMACY FIEND MAY KILL AGAIN

RAYMOND FERGUSON

THE WHACKED out dope fiend who butchered four innocent people in a Long Island Pharmacy may strike again because of his desperate lust for painkillers, cops fear.
The NYPD are now warning Physicians and the owners of small drugstores in the area to be wary about anyone "expressing an urgent need for prescription painkillers." 
They are also beefing up patrols near small pharmacies until the crazed triggerman who executed four people--two employees and two customers--one by one at point blank
range - is caught. 
The executions have been called "chilling" and "methodical" by officers who remain at a loss as to why he felt the need to kill his innocent victims, pharmacy employees Raymond Ferguson, 45, and Jennifer Mejia, 17,  and customers Bryon Sheffield, 71, and Jamie Taccetta, 33.
Mejia's sister Leslie, who swapped their Father's Day shift with her sibling said: "She didn't deserve it - not like that. I know she's an angel watching over us now."
Suffolk County police released photographs of the suspect: a man believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5-foot-8 with a thin build.
He has dark hair, was unshaven or has a dark beard and mustache and wore a white baseball cap and was carrying a black backpack.
Detectives asked anyone with information to call the Homicide Squad at 631-852-6392, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential. Police have offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the shooter's arrest.
VICTIMS LINKED IN DEATH

COPS: LONG ISLAND PHARMACY MURDERS 'CHILLING'

COPS IN New York are hunting the dope fiend who butchered four innocent people in a Long Island pharmacy Sunday--Father's Day, as the city cries out for justice.  Earlier reports suggest the cops KNOW who the killer is but since backed off. The triggerman executed the four people--two employees and two customers--one by one at point blank range. He then filled his backpack with pills. Cops have called the executions "chilling" and "methodical."
Police Commissioner Richard Dormer said: "It's the most vicious crime that I have encountered. They
offered no resistance and did not appear to provoke the assault. They were all shot at close range. They were shot very suddenly, and very quickly. They were killed for no apparent reason."

It's believed the suspect is armed and dangerous and a hardcore junkie. Police circulated photos showing a skinny white man with short, dark hair and a scraggly beard wearing a white cap, sunglasses, a dark hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
Cops were called to Haven Drugs in Medford by James Manzella, whose fiancee, Jaime Taccetta, 33, went to get a prescription filled. When cops arrived at the store they found Taccetta, pharmacist Raymond Ferguson, 45, his assistant Jennifer Mejia, 17, pictured right, and another customer Bryon Sheffield, 71, all dead. Jennifer hoped to be a doctor .
Her sister Leslie said: "My sister was a good person. She didn't deserve to die--not like that."
