Law enforcement believes the Stockton serial killer could possibly be connected to two unsolved slayings in the Midwest four years ago.
Stockton police investigating a string of killings in their city and one in Oakland say there may be a connection to two people killed in Chicago in 2018.
Police released surveillance video from Chicago of a man they believe is linked to two execution-style fatal shootings that occurred just 36 hours apart that year. Investigators determined the same gun was used in both shootings.
Chicago investigators say the man in the footage has a similar walk, or limp, to the “person of interest” in the Stockton killings.
The Stockton killer is linked to seven shootings, six of them fatal. The first actually occurred in Oakland in April 2021 and involved a 40-year-old man. The most recent was Sept. 27 and involved a 54-year-old man shot and killed in Stockton.
Police say the five men killed in Stockton were ambushed and shot to death, alone in the dark. A woman also was shot in Stockton, but she survived.
As the only known survivor, she described the assailant as a man between 5 feet, 10 inches and 6 feet, 2 inches tall.
The Stockton Police Department has set up a tip line for anyone with information about the killings: 209-937-8167.
