- On November 26th, 27th and 29th, three homeless people were shot
- The LAPD believes a hooded male suspect is responsible for the three murders
The LAPD has warned that a potential serial killer could be on the loose after three homeless people were murdered last week.
Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect responsible for three murders on November 26, 27 and 29 in downtown and south Los Angeles, California.
The LAPD said the investigation was in its early stages but noted similarities in these three murders.
“A single individual approached each individual and shot each one while they were sleeping,” said LAPD Chief Michel Moore.

The hooded suspect targeted lone, unprotected people sleeping on the street, shot them, then fled in a vehicle without a confrontation, the LAPD reported during a news conference Friday afternoon

“To the person responsible: We will find you, we will catch you and you will be held accountable,” said Mayor Karen Bass.
A 37-year-old man was killed early Sunday morning in South Los Angeles.
The next day, around 4:45 a.m., a homeless man in his 50s was shot in downtown LA, and the third victim, in his 60s, was killed the day after.
Moore did not use the term “serial killer” but said the three victims were found dead under similar circumstances.
