Our big story reaction from Dav.
I think I speak for Davis when I say we
all have a collective sigh of relief.
That relief coming after Davis.
Police say they've arrested 21 r
old Carlos Dominguez who was a
UC Davis student until last wee.
Police adding that he is originy
from Oakland and we're getting r
first clear look at the interrogation
and the questioning and the subsequent.
Taking into custody,
law enforcement agencies making
their first contact and it has e
community breathing easier toda.
Dominguez being taken in very clearly,
wearing the same sweats in
the descriptions and sketches,
same hair as well and visibly
chatting with the officers.
No resisting at all.
So all of this a major break.
In the case of a series of stabs
terrorizing the city of Davis Dominguez,
expected in court in just a few hours
from now on several other charg,
ABC Tennis Bridget Piorlo is
live in at the situation there.
Bridget,
what is your current location ad
what do we expect in court toda?
Well, we're right outside the courthouse
where the suspect will be makins
first appearance for his arraignment.
This is where he's formerly read his charges.
We're getting a better idea of
the charges he will be facing.
The most serious one
being premeditated murder.
That's when you plan out the killing.
The second one being attempted
murder causing great bodily inj.
That's because the female victio
he stabbed sustained significant wounds
and she's still fighting for her life.
I want to show you some fresh is
of the moments the now suspect,
21 year old Carlos Dominguez, was detained.
This was on Wednesday.
As you can see, he is talking with officers.
He is not handcuffed at this ti.
Because he was just a person of
interest until officers questiod
him for approximately 20 hours.
Now, officers were called to the
scene thanks to witnesses who spotted
him because he was wearing the e
articles of clothing that he was wearing
allegedly during the most recent stabbing,
making him more easily identifie
when police got to the scene.
So it was near a Sycamore park,
right around the area of the
second deadliest stabbing.
When they got there, they brought him in.
They also looked in his backpac.
That's when they allegedly foun.
A knife.
A large hunting style knife that
police believe was the murder weapon.
They also believe he might have
been walking around that park
looking for more victims.
He was arrested about a day after this,
leaving his former classmates
at UC Davis stunned.
Take a listen.
Like, keeps you on edge.
Like, she said. You know,
like you don't know what's
going to happen or like where
it's going to be next.
And then, yeah, just hoping.
Just glad he got caught, you kn?
Now that I know that it was a student,
I could see that it was like,
a very real possibility that I d
have been on campus. I don't kn.
I think it just makes you, like,
more aware of who's around
you. And then, like,
you never really know if someone
that's in your class could be doing it.
Because I heard you was like a
Biological Sciences student,
and so am I. So I was like,
that's kind of scary thinking.
I could have had a class
with someone like this.
Just a week ago,
he was a college student.
He could have been sitting in a
lecture hall with other student,
and that is what other classmats
are thinking about today.
They're pondering that they
feel very unsettled.
The university says he was remod
from school due to academic iss,
which police believe Walt might
have triggered his stabbing spr.
Yeah, we're waiting to hear a
possible motive, what caused th,
but obviously getting kicked out of school
for academic reasons might be a trigger.
Of what other charges is Dominguez facing?
Well, Walt, the most serious one of course,
being murdered and attempted mu.
But he's also facing a number of
enhancements which could extends
prison sentence if he is convic.
And we're also learning the prosecutors
believe, even though there's no
evidence he knew his victims,
that he planned out the killing,
which is a big deal.
Also that he had a prior felony conviction,
which could also be an enhancement as well.
So we're waiting to learn the detail.
Calls of that,
but a long list of charges for
the suspect do in court behind .
Walt at 1:30 this afternoon.
OK That is in, of course, in Woodland.
OK. Thank you very much.
That's Bridget be Orlo with the latest
and there are ways you can help.
UC Davis has formed a scholarshp
fund in memory of one of the victims,
Kareem Abdul Najin.
He is the 20 year old UC Davis student who
was killed in the Sycamore Park attack.
Money from the fund will go to
students going to do research,
all in an effort to make sure t.
His legacy lives on.
The 20 year old was only six weeks away
from graduating with his bachels
degree in computer science at D.
