Authorities have expanded an investigation after Stockton, California, police linked two more shootings to a series of killings that have shaken the city.
The enhanced probe includes the help of the FBI, local sheriff's deputies and other law enforcement, police said. It increasingly looks as if a serial killer could be on the loose in the midsize city.By definition these shootings are a series of killings, and so we do believe we could have a potential serial killer," Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden said at a Tuesday news conference.
A statewide ballistics database helped detectives connect two shootings from spring 2021 to five fatal shootings in Stockton this year from July 8 to Sept. 27, police said. The second victim is a 46-year-old Black woman who was shot April 16, 2021. The woman survived and described the shooter as 5-foot-10-inches, and wearing dark clothing and a dark mask, the chief said.
Silva said Tuesday that investigators with the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office are part of the investigation.Stockton, in California's Central Valley east of the Bay Area, is a city of about 322,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.He said a commonality in all seven shootings appears to be the victims were ambushed under the cover of darkness.
The attacks took place in dark, shaded areas with few security cameras, Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden said Friday. On Tuesday, authorities continued to entertain the possibility more than one person could be involved. McFadden said it couldn't be ruled out.
