Officials confirm an arrest has been made in the possible Stockton serial case.
Officials said tips to Crime Stoppers helped in the arrest. In addition, city leaders have been in touch with the victims' families and believe they will have a"successful prosecution."
Police believe the same person was responsible for killing a man 70 miles away in Oakland in April 2021 and wounding a homeless woman in Stockton a week later. Stockton City leaders say while investigation is still active, they have been in touch with victim’s families and believe they will have a “successful prosecution” of the suspect for the victims and their familiesAuthorities said they received hundreds of tips after announcing the manhunt.
No suspected motive for the attacks was given, but McFadden said the killer appeared to be “on a mission.” Police said some victims were homeless, but not all. None were beaten or robbed, and the woman who survived said her attacker didn’t say anything. The FBI and various police agencies, including in Chicago, helped in the investigation, McFadden said.
