STOCKTON — Days after a 43-year-old Stockton man was arrested in connection with six allegedly connected homicides in Stockton and Oakland, prosecutors have charged him with three of the killings.
Brownlee was due in court Tuesday afternoon for an arraignment before San Joaquin Superior Court Judge Ronald Northup, court records show. Brownlee is also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. Police pointed out that the majority of the victims were of Latino descent, suggesting a racial motive, but have not publicly stated what they believe spurred Brownlee to kill. They allege that Brownlee would drive around early in the morning “hunting” for victims. He was arrested during a 2 a.m. traffic stop in Stockton with a mask and a gun, in the car, police said.
