A serial killer thought to be responsible for the fatal shooting of six men and the wounding of one woman in California since April 2021 seems to be “on a mission”, police said.

Ballistics tests and some video evidence have linked the crimes in the cities of Stockton and Oakland, located about 70 miles apart in the US state, police said.
