Heriberto "Eddie" Seda (born July 31, 1967), often referred to as The New York Zodiac or The Brooklyn Sniper, is an American serial killer who was active in New York City from 1990 through 1993. He fatally shot three people and wounded six others (four critically) before being caught on June 18, 1996.
Seda is believed to have admired San Francisco's Zodiac Killer for avoiding capture. Police described Seda, a Brooklyn resident, as a recluse obsessed with astrology and death. He was formally charged in the case on June 21, 1996, convicted on June 24, 1998, and sentenced to 232 years imprisonment.
