Stockton Cops Arrest Suspected Serial Killer Of Six Men

Sacramento’s CBS affiliate reports:

Police have arrested a man they believe is responsible for the recent serial killings that claimed the lives of six people and had a city on edge. At a press conference on Saturday, Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden identified the suspect as 43-year-old Wesley Brownlee of Stockton.

Police received tips from the public that led them to Brownlee’s home, and after observing Brownlee driving away from his residence, police moved in and arrested him in the area of Village Green Drive and Winslow Way.

When police pulled Brownlee over, he was allegedly dressed in black and had a black mask around his neck. He also had a firearm in possession, McFadden said. McFadden believes Brownlee was looking for his next victim. He was “out hunting…we are sure we stopped another killing,” he said.
