LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police are searching for a suspect in the fatal shootings of three homeless people in separate incidents around the city.

He says each victim was shot and killed as they slept or were preparing to turn in for the night. The police department has set up a task force of investigators that is working 24/7 to apprehend the killer. Mayor Karen Bass urged the city’s homeless residents not to sleep alone and seek available services.
