The weapon used and the getaway vehicle land the LA serial killer in the police net


It was murder most foul and not one but seven of them in the span of a few days in Los Angeles – the police had no clue except the weapon that had been used by the killer and his getaway vehicle news.sky.com.
The 34-year-old man Alexander Hernandez was initially arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty but, it seems, his cruelty extends to human beings – he has been accused of being a prolific serial killer in Los Angeles.
He has been charged with murder of Gildardo Morales, a pickup truck driver, in San Fernando and is also the sole suspect in a shooting where three people were killed - apparently at random - in the space of an hour.
The alleged killing spree began when a woman and a couple were left critically injured after being fired at in separate incidents.
There is no known connection established till now between the victims, but a 70-strong task force in the LAPD has been able to link the attacks after similar descriptions were made about the weapon and getaway vehicle used.
The police are yet to charge him with their deaths but when arrested, he had a pistol-grip shotgun in his possession – the police believe this weapon was used in the attacks.
Incidentally, the suspect has four prior convictions, some of which involved prison time. These convictions included sentences for the possession of firearms and methamphetamine.
