The FBI have issued details of a man they believe is a gay serial killer.

Adam Ezerski is wanted for the murders of Irving Sicherer and Anthony Martilotto, who were killed within a day of each other in southeastern Florida at the end of July.

Ezerski was on probation for car theft when Sicherer was found bludgeoned in his Miami home on 25 July. Martilotto was discovered the next day strangled in a hotel room in Fort Lauderdale. Sources said that he had checked in with Ezerski and forensic evidence has linked him to the deaths.

Andy Black, an FBI spokesman from San Francisco said: "We consider him very dangerous. Both of his victims were members of the gay community. We were hoping that someone in the public will lead us to him and his arrest."

Originally from Atlantic Beach in northeastern Florida, Black said that Ezerski was reportedly seen in San Francisco driving a 2001 red Ford Mustang that had been hired by Martilotto.

Ezerski is aged 19, 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 175 pounds with brown, possibly bleached hair and green eyes.
