Police in California say they have caught a suspected serial killer responsible for a handful of murders that have haunted the Stockton and Oakland areas.
Authorities say they apprehended the suspect, identified as Wesley Brownlee, 43, just as he was about to claim another life.
Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden said on Saturday, 'Early this morning he was on a mission to kill, he was out hunting.'
'He was wearing dark clothing and had a mask around his neck. He was also armed with a firearm when he was taken into custody. We are sure we stopped another killing,' he continued.'
Brownlee is suspected to have been terrorizing the community for more than a year.
His first suspected killing occurred last April 21, and his most recent 'hunt' took place less than one month prior to his arrest.
He is now in custody and is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday afternoon.
McFadden said his officers were able to make a breakthrough in the case because of 'community tips' and 'good old fashioned police work.'
Authorities have so far been able to connect six gun deaths in California cities to a single murderer since the beginning of 2021.
Law enforcement authorities described Brownlee's killing spree as a 'reign of terror.' Just one of his alleged victims survived being shot.
Earlier this month, police released footage of a man they believed to be the Stockton serial killer.
On Saturday, the Stockton police department confirmed to the Daily Mail that they believe the individual in the surveillance footage is the same person who appeared in the video.

How was there a serial killer out on the loose actively murdering and it hasn’t been a huge story everywhere? Is it because it wasn’t in NYC, LA, or San Francisco like the Son of Sam, Nightstalker, and Zodiac were? Those were in the news like every day.
