Shelter residents who spoke with FOX 5 said the killing represents an ongoing safety problem in the NYC shelter system. 

"While the Department of Homeless Services says that around-the-clock security is provided at each site, new data obtained by the New York Daily News shows that around 70% of homeless individuals who have been moved into shelters leave within a week of being admitted," the TV station reports.
