In the wake of a spate of stabbings that engulfed Davis, authorities have detained a person of interest to make an arrest.
CBS13 identified the person as fitting the Davis police’s description of the suspect, including dark curly hair and dressing in black Adidas track trousers.
He was taken into custody at Pine Lane and Colby Drive, about a block from Sycamore Park, the scene of Saturday’s fatal shooting of UC Davis student Karim Abou-Najm. The person was brought to the Davis Police Department for interrogation.
