We continue to follow that
breaking news out of Davis.
The person believed to be responsible
for a string of stabbings in Das
is finally off the streets toni.
Let's get right out to Jeannie Nguyen.
She is live at the Davis Police Department.
Jeannie Police.
They held a news conference just
hours ago where they released
a lot of new information.
What else can you tell us?
Alex, you know Davis Police here
say that they believe that 21 yr
old Carlos Dominguez is their g.
They've charged him with two counts of
murder and one count of attempted murder.
Not tonight. The mayor of Daviss

We've made an arrest.
It's what the Davis community has been
hoping for all week after three people
were stabbed and two of them ki.
That would be 21 year old Carlos Dominguez.
During a press conference today,
Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel
says Carlos Dominguez was a UC
Davis student up until last wee.
Chief Pytel credits the community and
helping officers track down Dominguez.
Yesterday afternoon
we had about 15 colors over near
central W Davis near Sycamore P.
And they reported seeing a persn
who matched the description.
Sycamore Park was the location
where police say Dominguez stabd
and killed UC Davis student
Kareem regime on Saturday night.
Two days before that,
police say Dominguez stabbed and
killed David Breaux at Central .
Then this week, police say he stabbed a
woman in her tent at 2nd and L Street.
When police found him yesterday,
he was just a few blocks from Sycamore Park.
Chief Patel says he was wearing nearly the
same thing when he committed those crimes.
And had a large knife in his backpack.
Police also say Dominguez livest
a home near Hawthorne and 8th jt
a few blocks from Sycamore Park.
Just about an hour ago placed him under
arrest on 2 counts of homicide r
David Breaux and Najim Kareem Nm
and for one count of attempt mu.
Police do say there is evidencee
victims fought back because Dominguez
had injuries on his hands and wrists.
Following today's announcement,
Davis Mayor Will Arnold assured
the community that they can
finally let the guard down.
The individual believed to be
responsible for these horrific,
brutal attacks is no longer
free to terrorize our community.
Now, of course, this investigation is
still ongoing as far as emotive goes.
Police say they're still not su.
They do say that when they were
talking to Dominguez in an intew
process that he was pretty,
he was pretty reserved,
but that he did have a lot to s.
Alex, back to you.
All right, Judy, thank you so m.
And we want to know if
you have other questions.
If you do, you can always scan the QR
code right on the side of your screen
and you can always send us a te.
At 916-321-3310.
But I want to go ahead and get out to
Devin Truby because police and I
are serving a search warrant at Carlos
Dominguez's home in Davis right,
which is right off of Hawthorne
and 8th and R Devin.
Truby has been on scene all day.
Devin, they are still searching that house.
And you also spoke with one
of those callers who really
helped police find the suspect.
That's right Alex.
And we actually just reviewed A
neighbor's ring doorbell video
and can now tell you that police
arrived here at 11:00 AM to stat
serving that search warrant.
That's when we saw the caution
tape go up in that video.
And I want you to take a look at the scene,
still very active FBI and Davis police
here you see the white crime scene unit
as well as the black truck thats
parked in the driveway here on Hawthorne.
We have seen at least 4 technicians in and
out of the house all day and white suits.
Gloved up, bringing evidence
in and out in brown paper bags,
the blue awning.
Also a tent where evidence is on a table.
But I want to get to that 911 tipster,
the Davis police,
saying that they truly relied oe
community in order to help make this arrest.
And we spoke to the young man
who was one of the 15 tips that
helped lead to the arrest.
His name was Carter Carlson ande
tells us on Wednesday afternoone
was in Sycamore Park Lane Flowet
the memorial when he saw a man t
matched the suspect description.
Carlson said it was the Adidas s
that stood out and the curly ha.
Dominguez headed into the Sycame
Park and was pacing there,
so Carlson got in his car and
followed Dominguez.
He said Another man was also one
phone following Dominguez on fo.
It was then that Carlson callede
tip line and started giving real time
updates on Dominguez's location.
It's very strange.
I didn't think my tip was
going to go that far.
I knew that the police were
obviously going to listen to it,
but I didn't think that we
were actually going to get him.
I'm beyond happy that we did,
and I'm beyond relieved for
the entire town of Davis.
You're looking at video right nf
Villanova where Carlson followed Dominguez.
As you can see, very populated
area and a popular walking route
for UC Davis students. Alex.
All right, Devin, thank you so .
All right. And we have seen a lt
of you asking about the suspect,
roommates. What did they know?
Could they be held responsible r
not saying something to police?
Will? We sat down with former
Sacramento County Sheriff John
McGinnis and asked him about th.
Here's what he had to say.
Realistically, they they might.
They know this guy and they migt
just believe he's he's clearly
incapable of doing this kind of a deed.
They would never suspect it.
He may possibly have told them
that he was still going to scho,
as was his habit before a
parent expulsion took place.
So I don't know.
I wouldn't necessarily imply any kind
of guilt or culpability on their part.
Perhaps they were suspicious and
didn't didn't necessarily feel s
though they had suspicious grou.
Sufficient ground rather.
To move forward on,
that's a powerful accusation
to make against somebody.
So yeah, 2020 hindsight's always good,
and perhaps they had thoughts ad
didn't pursue them for whatever reason.
Maybe they maybe they did,
maybe it was dismissed.
And he says, there's also just
a really high legal standard to
me to prove that someone was,
say, an accessory to murder.
So there's still a lot that
we need to learn about what
those roommates actually knew.
