Jesus, what a week can't get into anything without talking about the Stockton serial killer because what is going on over there?

I came across some information about it online, of course, a bunch of you babes were sending me links and articles and I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What is happening? A serial killer in Stockton?

And I have my own theories. I wanted to just talk through some of the basics for those of you who don't know. The most recent updated article I could find came from KCRA. It's an NBC station. I believe local to Stockton.

But it says Stockton, California, five recent shooting deaths in Stockton in one in Oakland last year, which is like the most recent update appear to be connected, prompting police to call the incidents a series of killings.

A.K.A. there's a fucking serial killer in Stockton. Along with the five deaths in Stockton in one in Oakland, the shooting of a woman in Stockton last year who survived is also linked in connection with the serial killings.

So in total, six men have been killed so far. So I do find it kind of interesting that there was a female victim. I wonder how she's connected to it because it doesn't seem like that is this serial killer's ammo.

But in total, six men have been killed so far, five of them in Stockton. And then one of the murders occurred in Oakland last year.

And the victims were 35 year old Paul Alexander Yaw, 43 year old Salvador William Dubede Jr., 21 year old Jonathan Hernandez Rodriguez, 52 year old Juan Cruz, and 52 year old Lorenzo Lopez.

And I'm noticing kind of a common theme here. It seems like this in my opinion is racially motivated. The victim in Oakland was 40 years old, also a Hispanic man.

He was identified by the coroner recently as Juan Miguel Vasquez Serrano. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Juan was an unhoused individual known and well liked in the seminary neighborhood of East Oakland, where he worked as a car mechanic for hire.

And I guess people according to this article would occasionally let him sleep in the cars that he was fixing, which is honestly like, wow, okay, humanity.

Now the single female identifying victim was a world is a 46 year old black woman. So really different than the other victims. Obviously the rest of the victims were male and Hispanic.

And police chief Stanley McFadden said that that particular woman had biked to an encampment, like a encampment where unhoused people went to at Park and Union streets in Stockton, where she was shot on April 16th of 2021 around 3 30 AM.

She said she was by a tent when she saw this man who was dressed in dark clothing wearing a dark face mask and a dark jacket.

She said that he was between 5'10 and 6'2", but she also told the police that she didn't talk to them at all and that she tried defending herself by running towards him, but she ended up getting hit multiple times by the gunfire.

Most of the shootings that happened in Stockton, if you look at a map of the murder locations, I'll post it.

This article says that it all happened within a four mile radius of one another.

However, again, the female victim, the only one who survived the attacks, we should also say.

Courlocation was a few miles south of where all of the other ones occurred.
