Heriberto Seda (1967-?)

Heriberto Seda, also known as the Brooklyn Sniper, the Copycat Zodiac Killer and Faust, is an American serial killer who killed 3 and wounded 5 others in a spree between 1990 and 1993. He is believed to be a fan of San Francisco’s Zodiac Killer and his ability to evade capture. Police described the Brooklyn resident as a recluse who was obsessed with guns and the Bible. He was formally charged in June 1996, convicted in 1998, and was sentenced to 232 years imprisonment. He attacked people throughout New York City and sent taunting messages to the police and media after each crime. The messages included codes based on International maritime signal flags, which New York Post journalist Keiran Crowley managed to decode with the help of his father-in-law, a WWII veteran with cryptography and signals intelligence. The killer’s letters to police claimed that he was choosing victims based on their Zodiac signs, implying he would only act when specific stars were visible in the sky. Police consulted a professional astronomer who predicted when the killer would strike with some accuracy. Seda used an improvised firearm, saying in his messages that the lack of rifling marks on the shells would prevent him from being captured. New York police considered the possibility that the Zodiac Killer had relocated to New York and resumed his murder spree after 2 decades of inactivity. Like Seda, the Zodiac Killer sent taunting letters and coded messages to local media. He was never caught. Despite these similarities, a handwriting analyst, along with consultation with California authorities, ruled out this possibility.

Seda was arrested in March 1994 for possession of a deadly weapon, after police noticed a suspicious bulge in his pocket, where he was concealing one of his zip guns. Police discovered that the weapon wasn’t functional, so Seda’s public defender managed to get all charges dropped and his arrest record sealed. Seda believed that this turn of events was an omen that proved he was beyond consequences. At the age of 26 Seda was an unemployed high school dropout who lived with his mother and half-sister. He was a good student, but he was expelled for bringing a starter pistol to school.  He opted to drop out instead of attending mandatory counselling sessions to be readmitted to school. He was unemployed and was supported by his mother but “earned” money by stealing coins from pay phones and vending machines. Seda was known to be both physically and mentally abusive to his teenage half-sister Gladys “Chachi” Reyes. During an argument with her and her boyfriend on June 18, 1996, Seda pulled a gun on the couple and threatened them. While Reyes’ boyfriend hid in the bedroom, she attempted to escape through the front door, but Seda shot her in the buttocks. She was wounded but not incapacitated and she managed to make her way to a neighbour’s apartment where she called police. After a stand-off with police which lasted several hours, Seda relinquished his firearms and was arrested. At first, authorities didn’t make a connection between Seda’s arrest for the domestic incident and the string of unsolved murders – however, he ended his handwritten statement with a symbol which resembled that written on the taunting letters police had received from the killer. From here on out, police focused on Seda as the prime suspect. Despite the killer’s claim that he could never be linked to the crimes because of the lack of rifling on the improvised guns, police managed to use tool mark evidence to link him to the attacks. Fingerprint evidence was also discovered and handwriting analysis confirmed a strong similarity between Seda’s statement and the anonymous letters. Most damning of all, police discovered Seda’s DNA on one of the stamps that had been used to mail a letter to police.

The PG22 is built to be a relatively safe and reliable attempt at a 3D printed firearm. Printed in plain old PLA, the PG22 uses a steel breech block and a rifled steel barrel liner, increasing strength where it matters without significantly increasing the cost or difficulty of assembly.
