[Spartan]

— An Oakland man was identified on Tuesday who, according to investigators, was the first victim of a possible California serial killer.

Juan Miguel Vasquez Serrano, 39, of Oakland, was slain on Harmon Avenue at 4:18 a.m. on April 10, 2021, an Alameda County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told KRON4. 

Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden said ballistics evidence linked Serrano’s killer with recent serial killings in Stockton.

Full press conference: Oakland homicide connected to Stockton serial killings

 

 

McFadden told reporters on Tuesday, “We could have a potential serial killer. We are doing everything we can to keep the city safe.” A $125,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.

All of the homicide victims were targeted while walking alone down dark, empty sidewalks, police said. Five of the Stockton victims were fatally shot within the past three months. 

The Stockton Police Department released this grainy black and white surveillance image of a “person of interest.” 

A lone surviving victim, who was shot just six days after Serrano, gave a description of the gunman to police. The woman said she was inside her tent when she heard footsteps. When she looked outside her tent, a person opened fire. The shooter was about 6-feet-tall, wore dark clothing, and said nothing, the woman told police.

McFadden showed reporters surveillance video of a “person of interest” and said, “Notice how upright this person’s posture is. This person’s posture is extremely upright.”

The most recent killing happened at 1:53 a.m. on September 27 when a 54-year-old Hispanic man was gunned down on Porter Avenue.

“It definitely meets the definition of a serial killer,” officer Joseph Silva told KTXL. “What makes this different is the shooter is just looking for an opportunity. Our victims were alone in a dark area.”

As far as a motive, police do not believe the serial killings were hate crimes, gang-related, nor robberies. 

The victims’ ages ranged between 21-54. Most of the victims were Hispanic men. “The Hispanic community is the largest population in the city. Well over 42 percent. It’s very concerning,” mayor Kevin Lincoln said.

McFadden urged Stockton residents to be vigilant while the person is still at-large. “We would like to remind everyone to remain vigilant and have good situational awareness. Please avoid isolated areas and travel in well-lit areas. Remember, there is safety in numbers so if you can, travel with a friend,” the police chief said.

The suspect in a series of California killings was ‘out hunting’ when he was arrested, police say

[Spartan]

Authorities in California on Saturday arrested a man in connection with a series of killings that claimed the lives of six people.

The suspect, Wesley Brownlee, 43, was being followed by a police surveillance team who determined around 2 a.m. on Saturday he was “out hunting” and “on a mission to kill,” Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden said in a news conference.

“His patterns were consistent with some of the patterns that we have seen,” McFadden said. “(He was) around parks, around dark places, stopping, looking around, moving again. And at that point, we thought, for the safety of the public, it was best to take this person in.”

Wesley Brownlee, 43, was taken into custody by police in Stockton, California.

 

Brownlee was wearing dark clothing, had a mask around his neck, and had a firearm when he was taken into custody, the police chief said.

“We are sure we stopped another killing,” the police chief said.

The suspect has a criminal history, McFadden said, but added he was unsure of the extent of what history or with which agencies.

The police chief did not share a motive in the killings.
