Two men were earlier charged with murder in connection with the string of shootings that occurred overnight Sunday into Monday in southeast Los Angeles County, law enforcement officials said Thursday. The killings appear to be a “random murder spree,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Investigators were able to connect the incidents because the same Honda Pilot vehicle was seen near each crime scene, authorities said. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department identified the license plate for the car and alerted local law enforcement, he added. Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, who represents the area where the shootings happened, described them as a “rampage” that shook the community.
