Malik Patt is accused of killing 3 people during a wave of Southern California robberies targeting convenience stores and fast-food restaurants.
A Los Angeles man who admitted during a police interview to a string of shootings that left three people dead in the midst of a wave of robberies at convenience stores and fast-food restaurants across Southern California in 2022 was ordered by an Orange County Superior Court judge on Thursday to stand trial.
Patt acknowledged killing a homeless man outside a 7-Eleven he robbed in North Hills, a customer in a 7-Eleven parking lot in Santa Ana — identified by police as 24-year-old Matthew Rule — and a clerk in a 7-Eleven in Brea — later identified as 40-year-old Matthew Hirsch. He also admitted shooting and injuring a customer at a 7-Eleven in Riverside, and a clerk and customer at a 7-Eleven in La Habra.
But Patt in the police interview said the robberies began much earlier, in January 2022, shortly after he returned to Southern California from an out of state college. Patt appeared to claim credit for dozens of robberies, which he said included check cashing businesses before he decided that it was easier to target convenience stores. It isn’t clear if authorities have confirmed whether or not Patt is actually suspected of carrying out the other robberies.
Patt also told detectives that he opted not to shoot a donut store worker in Santa Ana because the man appeared to be of Indian descent and, as Patt described it, “I don’t do stuff to my people.” Patt appeared calm for the bulk of the portions of the police interview that were played in court. But he grew animated when discussing his older co-defendant Jason Payne, a man Patt referred to by the affectionate term “uncle,” though authorities say they are not related.
