Chunli Zhao is accused of killing seven people in the coastal community south of San Francisco.
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — A farmworker accused of killing seven people inat two Northern California mushroom farms will be charged with seven counts of murder and one of attempted murder, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
The sheriff’s office said it believes the shootings were “workplace violence” but has not further detailed a motive. It was, including the killing of 11 in Monterey Park in the Los Angeles area amid Lunar New Year celebrations Saturday. Servando Martinez Jimenez said his brother Marciano Martinez Jimenez, who was a delivery person and manager at one of the farms, was among those killed. Servando Martinez Jimenez said his brother never mentioned Zhao or said anything about problems with other workers.
Allen declined to answer questions about whether Zhao had any previous criminal history, saying, “there were no specific indicators that would have led us to believe he was capable of something like this.”But it would not have been Zhao’s first fit of workplace rage, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. In 2013 Zhao was accused of threatening to split a coworker’s head open with a knife and separately tried to suffocate the man with a pillow, the Chronicle reported, based on court documents.
