Local authorities in Stockton, California, strongly believe that they have a serial killer in their midst, and the focus on his criminal activity appears to be the male demographic. Thus far, the police have secured a fair amount of leads, ruling out gang activity in the process while also determining that the assailant does not target his victims based on race or age. Instead, he tends to stalk men who are walking alone at night before closing in on his kill and gunning them down. There is a growing belief that these murders began back in 2021, with the most recent slaying last Tuesday. Overall, six murders have been tied to the 'Stockton Serial Killer.' Although many of his victims were slain in Stockton, the killer has also been linked to murders in major Bay Area locations such as Oakland and San Francisco. As the victims continue to pile, the assailant remains on the loose and one step ahead of law enforcement.
“We have a series of homicides that we believe are interconnected,” he said. “By definition, you could probably very well call this serial killings," said Stockton police Chief Stanley McFadden.
Shortly thereafter, McFadden released a statement encouraging the public to take more of an active role in bringing the suspect to justice.
"Our detectives and task force officers have been working around the clock on these investigations...We are committed to protecting our community and solving these cases utilizing all the resources at our disposal, including YOU. We need YOUR help!!!! If anyone has information regarding these investigations, call us immediately. Please remember our victims have grieving family members who need resolution.”
