A “documented gang member,” who police said "should have been in prison," was responsible for a two-hour stabbing and robbery rampage in Southern California that killed four people and injured two, authorities said Thursday.
Garden Grove Police Chief Tom DaRé told reporters that Zachary Castaneda "could have injured or killed many other people" had he not been apprehended as he walked out of a convenience store in the neighboring city of Santa Ana, dropping a knife and a gun he had taken from a security guard he had just killed.
Police told reporters the violence appeared to be “random," with Garden Grove police Lt. Carl Whitney adding that Castaneda was "violent" with detectives who attempted to interview him Wednesday night and was kept in restraints.
"He never told us why he did this," Whitney said.
The night before he told reporters, "We know this guy was full of anger."
Police said the violence unfolded across eight crime scenes in Garden Grove and Santa Ana, including an apartment complex, a bakery, an insurance office, a gas station and a Subway restaurant. The attacker and four of his alleged victims were described as Hispanic, the other two were described as Caucasian.
The two people who were injured in the attacks, a 44-year-old Hispanic man and a 54-year-old Hispanic woman, had undergone surgeries and were listed in stable condition.
Castaneda has a conviction for possession of meth for sale while armed with an assault rifle, police said, adding that investigators were still putting together his entire criminal history. Officials didn't specify what crimes sent Castaneda to prison or when he was released, but the chief described the suspect as a "violent individual," who should "never have been considered for early release" from prison.

He may be a “documented gang member”, but is he a documented immigrant or a citizen?
Or just another fraudulently documented foreigner?
so far, he has only been described as ‘latino’..

Citing this Record
“California Birth Index, 1905-1995,” database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VGZG-5J4 : 27 November 2014), Lopez in entry for Zachary Castaneda, 06 Feb 1986; citing Los Angeles, California, United States, Department of Health Services, Vital Statistics Department, Sacramento.
The prison differs on him being released early; he was eligible to earn a day’s credit for every day he served a 4 year sentence, so it cut his sentence in half. His being eligible for that is a problem in itself.

Gender female?
But he was just turning his life around and had applied for one of Gavin Newsome’s new “scholarships for psychopaths in jail” program.
I guess that explains this comment “Crazy what a shaved head does to a pussy” on his/her Facebook page. ;-)

White latino?
I guess I feel sorry for the wife and kids. He still needs to be fried.
WE need to reinstate the death penalty, no more languishing on death row for decades, right to the gallows, no more humane ways of executing dirt bags, a rusty piano wire will do
Of course, it should be noted that Gov Newsom commuted every death sentence in California...
“...the chief described the suspect as a “violent individual,” who should “never have been considered for early release” from prison.”
A shining example of how “Red Flag” processes really work to protect public safety. /sarc
I don’t think Newsom commuted the death sentences. He just suspended them during his term of office.
It doesn’t really matter, as the powers that be on the Left Coast have been doing everything possible to indefinitely delay executions. There are some men on death row who have been there since the early 1980’s.
This monster will probably go to San Quentin and sit in a single cell for the next 40-50 years until he dies of old age. The guards will need to keep a very close eye on him, though, as he is extremely vicious and hates police and other authority figures. And as we saw the other day, he basically hates everyone. Given the chance, he’ll kill in a minute.
