Three women were found dead in different San Diego motels in recent weeks sparking fears of possible serial killings across the Tijuana border.
Authorities have been probing the deaths over the last weeks; The victims were likely lured to their deaths from area bars, the Baja California Attorney General said.
“There was work done regarding sharing information between our homicide department and the institution’s strategy department,” AG Ricardo Carpio said.
“They were able to determine that this suspect attacks vulnerable, lonely victims and lures them with lies.”
Carpio revealed that the killer crossed the border back to the US after the crimes and that an arrest warrant has been issued for him.
“Without a doubt, we will capture him and transport him back here to Tijuana,” he added.
