Wesley Brownlee, 43, was arrested Saturday by Stockton police for six deadly shootings, including one in Oakland. He's also accused of wounding another woman in Stockton. Police said he "was out hunting" for an eighth victim. Court records shed light on Brownlee’s family life and mental state.
The tendency with serial-killer and mass-shooter cases alike is always to want to immediately try to psychoanalyze the suspect and get to the bottom of their motives. The answers are rarely satisfying, but with the Stockton serial killer suspect, Wesley Brownlee, this has already begun.
