STOCKTON, Calif. —

A man has been arrested in Stockton in connection to a series of killings in the city and one in Oakland, authorities announced on Saturday. He could face charges for the murders of six men that were linked through ballistics. 

Wesley Brownlee, 43, was arrested overnight "while out hunting," police Chief Stanley McFadden said at a news conference with City Manager Harry Black, Mayor Kevin Lincoln and San Joaquin County District Attorney Tori Verber Salazar.

 

McFadden believes they "stopped another killing." 

The police chief said the arrest was made possible thanks to community tips and the work of the police department.

"Our surveillance team followed this person while he was driving. We watched his patterns and determined early this morning he was on a mission to kill. He was out hunting," McFadden said.
