California police have arrested a suspected serial killer suspected of shooting five people in just two and a half months this summer alone. Another victim was killed last year.
The 43-year-old was caught early Saturday morning in the town of Stockton while hunting for another victim, according to police. “He was on a murder mission,” Police Chief Stanley McFadden said. “We are confident that we have prevented another murder.”
Five men were shot dead near Stockton between July 8 and September 27; the murders showed some parallels. In the city of Oakland, 50 kilometers away, another man was killed in April last year. A woman survived an attack that, according to police, was also carried out by the suspect. Investigators are still looking for a motive for the crime. (SDA/kes)
