Authorities in California have announced the arrest of a former University of California, Davis student accused in a series of stabbings that left two people dead and another injured over the past week. The Davis Police Department said that 15 tipsters on Wednesday reported seeing a person who matched the description of the suspect provided by authorities.
One caller said they were following the suspect, who was eventually stopped by patrol officers. After several hours of questioning, the suspect, identified as 21-year-old Carlos Dominguez, a Davis resident, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of murder and one attempted murder count.
Pytel described Dominguez as a serial killer, and he is expected to be arraigned on Monday. The arrest came after a series of attacks that began on April 27 with the stabbing of 50-year-old David Henry Breaux. Investigators sought help from the FBI to determine if the killings may involve a serial killer.
