Suspected serial killer arrested for murdering 3 sleeping homeless men in Los Angeles during four-day killing spree: cops

A suspected serial killer believed to be responsible for slaughtering three homeless people on the streets of Los Angeles was identified Saturday — after investigators realized he was already in custody for a separate, fourth murder.

Convicted felon Jerrid Joseph Powell, 33, allegedly shot the three vulnerable men as they slept as well as a fourth man — who was not homeless — in a botched burglary during a violent four-day killing spree, police said.

Powell was arrested Wednesday for the burglary gone wrong and on Saturday, investigators connected him to the murders of the homeless individuals.

The news comes just one day after city officials announced an urgent plea for unhoused people to be on high alert for a killer “preying on the unhoused.”

“Twenty-four hours ago we announced there was a killer on the loose. Now he is in custody,” Mayor Karen Bass said at a press briefing.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

In Los Angeles?  He'll be released on his own recognizance, won't he?  After all, he made room for three more illegal immigrants. :tongue2:

Kill three homeless Americans, let in 300 more illegals.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.
