Vincent Johnson (born January 6, 1969) is an American serial killer popularly known as The Brooklyn Strangler.

He told them of another homeless man in the area, with whom he frequently used crack cocaine, who seemed fixated on sadomasochistic sex.

[2] Johnson later confessed to the murders of five women: Patricia Sullivan, Rhonda Tucker, Joanne Feliciano, Vivian Caraballo, and Laura Nusser, all of whom had arrest records for prostitution and drug offenses and were themselves addicts.

Of Patricia Sullivan, he said, "I didn't see strangling her as doing something wrong at the time," although after killing his first victim, Laura Nusser, he said he reported feeling "sorry" and wanting to apologize to her family.

Each of the victims was strangled, apparently with whatever ligature was at hand: two with their own shoelaces, one with a drawstring from a pair of sweatpants, two with electrical wire, and one with what was probably a discarded piece of cloth.
