Police Believe They Have a Serial Killer in California on the Loose

Newser-

Police say the fatal shooting of a sixth man, who was killed in Oakland, Calif., last year, has been linked to the five fatal shootings in Stockton, Calif., they believe are the work of a serial killer. The non-fatal shooting of a woman in Stockton on April 16, 2021, has also been linked to those six slayings, police say, per the AP. The man who was killed in Oakland was shot six days prior to that. Ballistics tests confirmed the connections, though details of the link between the incidents have not yet been made public. 

Since July, five men have been shot dead while walking alone at night or in the early morning in Stockton, Calif. At first, the murders—occurring within a few square miles in the northern part of the city—appeared unrelated. “We have been provided absolutely zero evidence that leads us to believe that one individual is running rampant in the city of Stockton killing people,” Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden said Wednesday, per ABC News. Two days later, however, he sang a very different tune. “We have a series of homicides that we believe are interconnected,” McFadden said at a Friday press conference, per SFGate. “By definition, you could probably very well call this serial killings.” Police say physical evidence links the five crime scenes.

I lived in the same town as Son of Sam and vividly remembered the headlines and stories as the killings mounted up. Girls were afraid to be in cars at night, especially with blonde hair.

With the amount of shooting that goes on in inner city dumps – democrat strongholds -the idea of a serial killer is oddly quaint. I hope that doesn’t sound crass, but my first reaction was, “Oh, I remember those (serial killers.”

    I lived in San Fransisco during the Zodiac killings. Supposedly they knew who the Zodiak killer was – years later. They don’t know just like they have no idea who D.B. Cooper was. My son works in Stockton. He’s an engineer with thew railroad. He’s been shot at a few times while in the cab.

  2. Doesn’t surprise me that this exists in an absolute uncontrolled Shithole of crime and disease!
    When it comes right down to it, increased crime statistics suggest that the politicians are the real serial killers!

  3. Serial killer or regular killer, dead is dead. What difference does it make anyway? The people voted for this, and half a dozen additional deaths are statistically insignificant given the homicide totals in these toilets.

  4. Stockton has been a shithole for at least 50 years. The very last completed section of I-5 thru California was in Stockton. Before that, you used to have to drive that stretch on surface streets. We always timed our travel so we didn’t go through there at night.
