Suspect in homeless killings faces additional murder charges

(CNN) - The man that prosecutors say is behind the stabbing deaths of four homeless men in Southern California now stands accused of the brutal killing of a mother and brother of an old friend, authorities said.

The latest allegations against Itzcoatl Ocampo, 23, were made public Friday, shortly after authorities dropped charges against the friend, Eder Herrera, in the killings.

Ocampo will be arraigned Monday on charges he stabbed to death 53-year-old Raquel Estrada and her 34-year-old son, Juan Herrera, Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas told reporters.

"This case has expanded from murdering random, vulnerable strangers to murdering people he knew," he said.

    he's that recent veteran of the desert – not sure which, wanna say iraq. seemed to be getting poor affected boy treatment.

    Maybe this veteran was engaged in some sort of 'sport killing'? Then he should be exonerated.
