A shooting incident in nassau and a stabbing in Freeport have brought the murder count to 39 for the year, police say.
Investigations into the murders, which both occurred on Sunday, are said to be continuing.
In the wake of the weekend’s violence, police say they want to assure the public that steps are being taken to combat criminal activity and heighten safety throughout the holiday season, when fear of crime is at its peak.
