Five Stockton residents and now an Oakland man have been identified as the victims of a possible Northern California serial killer, with the fatal shootings beginning last year and continuing through late September, authorities said.
"We do believe we could have a potential serial killer," Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden told reporters at a news conference earlier this week. All of the victims were shot.
Police say they believe an East Oakland murder and a nonfatal shooting of a Stockton woman last year appeared to be linked to a series of fatal shootings in the Central California city that occurred between July 8 and Sept. 27.
