Officials provide an update on a series of homicides, including one in Oakland, linked to a possible serial killer in Stockton.

The man on the video is suspected of at least one of the shootings that have killed seven people, six in Stockton and one in Oakland, in a seemingly random killing spree from April 10 through Sept. 27. Police said they believe all the shootings are related.

According to Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden, detectives have conducted followup investigations into the April 16 shooting death that occurred at Park and Union streets. A surviving victim of that crime described the suspect as a man of an unknown race, between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall, with a thin build and wearing a dark colored hoodie with the hood pulled up and dark colored pants. The suspect was also wearing an all black COVID-style face mask.

Police are encouraging anyone with information about these crimes to call the tip line at (209) 937-8167. Tips can also be emailed to policetips@stocktonca.gov.
