WASHINGTON (AP) â As officials seek clues about what prompted a Georgia man to fatally stab a Pentagon police officer, details of the suspectâs troubled past emerged Wednesday through interviews and court records.
Austin William Lanz, 27, was arrested last April for a break-in at a neighborâs home and drew police attention months earlier for a harassment campaign involving sexually explicit photos and messages, according to interviews and records obtained by The Associated Press.
Investigators have not revealed a motive in the ambush-style killing of Pentagon police officer George Gonzalez, 37. But Lanzâs past brushes with the law, and neighbors accounts of recent menacing behavior, appear to suggest the violence was more likely the act of a troubled, violence-prone individual than part of a broader conspiracy.
