The man who was at the center of a citywide manhunt<\/a> and is accused of killing two people in separate shootings across New York City is set to appear in court.<\/p>\n

Grand jury proceedings are expected Thursday morning at the Bronx criminal court for Jesus Acosta, 31, who was arrested Saturday<\/a> after a five-day search.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is facing a long list of charges related to two deadly shootings in the Bronx and Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

The first incident happened Aug. 23 at American Best Wings and Pizza<\/a> in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Worker Mohammed Rasel was shot in the leg and survived. Another worker, MD Yousef, was shot in the head and later died.<\/p>\n

Two days later, police said Acosta walked into a Bronx bodega<\/a>\u00a0where he shot and killed Tayvon Shuler. Investigators said Acosta took the 33-year-old’s backpack, stole money from the register and took off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Public records show Acosta is no stranger to law enforcement. He served more than 10 years in prison for assault and criminal possession of a weapon. He was released on parole back in April, according to court records.<\/p>\n

Acosta is scheduled for a grand jury action announcement at 9 a.m.<\/p>\n
