Suspected Stockton serial killer charged with four additional deaths

Wesley Brownlee, arrested in October while allegedly ‘out hunting’ for another victim, now faces seven charges for slayings

A man suspected in northern California serial killings has been charged in four additional slayings this week, bringing the total to seven deaths since April 2021, authorities said.

The shootings terrorized the Central Valley city of Stockton earlier this year as police searched for a man clad in black who appeared to be “on a mission” as he hunted victims for ambush-style shootings. He was also tied to violence in Alameda county.
