The Shuriken killer

The Shuriken Killer, also commonly referred to as the Jersey Oni or the Jersey Sex Killer, is a name given to the perpetrator or perpetrators of a series of murders of mostly female prostitutes and sex workers in where a shuriken star was found lodged into the body of the victim. A total of 17 victims were associated with the killer in the area of northern New Jersey from 2015 to 2019. Despite the damage done, the killer was very rarely seen, but eyewitness accounts describe the figure as a tall man in a trenchcoat wearing a large oni mask.

The most widely believed suspect of the murders was Thomas Merrill due to research and connections made by Logan Greckenheimer, Selena Cartwright and Davis Moore. However, before Merrill could be tried, he was murdered by Logan, leading the law enforcement to believe Logan was the killer.
