They included an April 10, 2021, shooting at 4:18 a.m. when a 40-year-old Hispanic man was killed in Oakland, police said. Affiliate KTVU reported that the coroner identified the man as Juan Miguel Vasquez Serrano.The San Francisco Chronicle, our Hearst affiliate, reported that Serrano was an unhoused individual known and well-liked in the Seminary neighborhood of East Oakland as a car mechanic-for-hire. People would occasionally let him sleep in the cars he was fixing.A 46-year-old woman was shot on April 16, 2021, at 3:20 a.m. at Park and Union streets in Stockton. She is the only known survivor of the seven shootings. After Brownlee's court appearance on Oct. 18, Natasha said she was annoyed with the charges filed."I was angry that there are no charges because of what he did to me, that's why I was angry," she told KCRA 3. "There's no charges there of what he did."The shootings were confirmed to be linked through ballistics tests. The shootings happened, "in the hours of darkness, these incidents are occurring where folks are alone by themselves, not in lit areas," Stockton police chief Stanley McFadden said on Friday, Sept. 30.While five of the seven victims are Hispanic men and four of the victims were experiencing homelessness, Stockton police don't believe that there is any indication that these were hate crimes. Paul Alexander Yaw, 35Paul Alexander Yaw was killed on July 8, the family confirmed to KCRA 3. "This is my son Paul. He was a great man with a big heart," his mother, Greta Bogrow, who lives in Texas, said in a statement. "He was my son, a father, a grandson, nephew, cousin and brother and was loved by many. He has left a huge hole in our hearts, and I hope they catch the person(s) responsible before this happens again."Yaw was shot just after midnight — around 12:30 a.m. — at a park in the 5600 block of Kermit Lane, police said. He was taken to the hospital, where he died from his injuries. One neighbor told KCRA 3 that she heard the gunshots.Bogrow said her son was unhoused at the time of his death. Salvador William Debudey Jr., 43 Salvador William Debudey Jr. was killed on Aug. 11, the family confirmed to KCRA 3.Debudey was a Stockton native and father. He was shot around 9:49 p.m. in a parking lot on the 4900 block of West Lane, police said. Officers found him with a gunshot wound and started life-saving measures. He died at the scene of the shooting, which was about five minutes away from the first homicide. Debudey's wife, Analydia Lopez, says that she found out about the possible connection between all homicides through social media and was upset that Stockton police haven't reached out to give her family information."It’s caused a lot of pain, a lot of pain to our family," said Analydia Lopez, the wife of Salvador Debudey.She said she met Debudey roughly 28 years ago when they were students at Franklin High School. They reconnected later in life and were married for 12 years."To be honest with you, a part of me died with him that day," Lopez said. "It's been hard. It's been really, really hard."Debudey's daughter Selena said that her father was unhoused and she had an estranged relationship with him. But she believed her father deserved better and could've had a longer life had he received the help he needed."He didn’t always get the dad part right, but deep down, I really do think he tried his hardest," Selena said. "Addiction is a very scary and deadly disease. Once you get a taste, it’s very hard to get out of that hold it has on oneself. It ends up being your safe place, your home. We all loved him very, very, very much and he was always supportive when I and many others needed it the most. Now my dad is with the angels … so happy, healthy, and free. I know he’s watching over me, my brother, and little Bella."Debudey is also survived by his three younger brothers and his mother and father.

And I know they have so many memories of him.”Jerry Lopez was in the courtroom with his family on Oct. 18 when Brownlee faced a judge for the first time. The family thanked the police department and the entire community for the arrest.

He was found shot and killed inside his vehicle at the apartment complex where he lived and was pronounced dead at the scene. His family told KCRA 3 that he was born and raised in Stockton, and was known as Johnny by his friends and loved ones. His funeral took place on Sept. 11. His mother Viridiana Rodríguez set up a memorial near that parking spot with a message that reads in part, "I will always love you and remember you with the love that you always had for us, your parents. You didn't deserve your life to be taken this way. You were always a good and kind child to everyone around you and they all loved you. I, your mother, am mostly heartbroken and will always miss you with my heart and soul. - Your 'Mami,' as you always called me."His ashes lay inside an urn in his parent's living room along with some photos she'd like to hang on the wall, but also considering whether moving out of Stockton is the best decision for her family given that she still has a daughter and is afraid for her safety.She also said that although sometimes people choose not to come forward when witnessing a crime to avoid any issues, she's asking anyone who may know anything about her son's murder, to come forward and bring families like hers some justice.Related Coverage Suspected Stockton serial killer caught with gun while ‘out hunting’, police chief says Stockton serial killings: 4 of 7 known victims were homeless Stockton serial killings: Hispanic, Latino community concerned about pattern of victimsStockton serial killings: Everything we know and don't know so farSerial killers are 'very complicated psychologically, to investigate,' experts sayVideo of person of interest released, ballistics connect shootingsHow the Stockton community is coming together amid serial killing fears-KCRA 3's Lysée Mitri contributed to this report.
