By Steve GormanLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A suspected serial killer was charged on Monday with murder in the fatal shootings of three homeless men in Los Angeles and a county employee who was robbed and slain after being followed to his residence, all of them over a four-day span, officials said.
Powell was charged with four counts of murder, one count of residential robbery and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said there was no known connection among the four men who were slain and suggested that additional victims might end up linked to the case.
At that point, Powell was under arrest but had yet to be charged with shooting homeless people.
