Authorities Announce Arrest Of Man In Killings Of 3 Unhoused People Across LA

A man has been arrested in connection to the killings of three unhoused across the city of Los Angeles, and for an additional break-in and killing in San Dimas, city and county officials announced.

Authorities identified the man as Jerrid Joseph Powell, a 33-year-old who was arrested earlier this week for the robbery in San Dimas.

The Beverly Hills Police Department detained Powell Wednesday night after his vehicle was stopped for matching the vehicle that was believed to be used in the shootings. Powell was placed under arrest Thursday morning.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore said Saturday that police have not identified a motive for the alleged shootings.
