The suspect — identified as Jerrid Joseph Powell, 33 — was formally arrested on Saturday for the killings of the three unhoused men, who were shot while sleeping alone on a sidewalk or an alley, Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said at an afternoon news conference.
Powell was already in custody for the San Dimas homicide that occurred Tuesday night during the follow-home robbery, police said.
In that case, Powell allegedly followed 42-year-old Nicholas Simbolon, an employee of the Los Angeles County Chief Executive Office, from a charging station in West Covina to his home. There he robbed and shot him, then fled the scene, authorities said.
