Suspect arrested in killings of three L.A. homeless people

Less than 24 hours after news broke that a serial predator might be targeting some of Los Angeles’ most vulnerable residents, police on Saturday announced the arrest of a suspect linked to the homicides of three homeless men across the city in the past week.

Jerrid Joseph Powell, 33, is accused of walking up to men in three different Los Angeles neighborhoods over a four-day span, killing each for no apparent reason, Police Chief Michel Moore said Saturday.

Moore described the killings as “senseless” and said footage of at least one homicide shows Powell acting borderline indifferent as he takes a man’s life.

Powell was arrested Wednesday night by Beverly Hills police after his car was linked to the Sunday killing of 42-year-old Nicholas Simbolon in San Dimas. Powell allegedly robbed Simbolon at his home and shot him in what authorities have termed a “follow home robbery.” Simbolon, who worked for the L.A. County chief executive’s office, is survived by his wife, his mother and two sons, officials said.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said a 2024 BMW belonging to Powell was spotted at the scene of Simbolon’s slaying, and Beverly Hills police spotted the car and arrested Powell after a traffic stop late Wednesday.

The shooting occurred at a homeless encampment, police said.

At least one person was killed and four others wounded in a shooting at a homeless encampment in Las Vegas on Friday, police said.

The incident occurred in the area of Charleston Boulevard and U.S. 95 around 5:30 p.m. local time. Officers responded to a homeless encampment, where witnesses directed them to multiple victims, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson said at a press briefing Friday night.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said the victims, all of whom were unhoused, were transported to University Medical Center.

One victim -- a male in his 50s -- was pronounced dead at the hospital due to his injuries, police said. One man in his 30s was in critical condition. Two other men in their 30s and a victim in his late teens were in stable condition.

Police told ABC Las Vegas affiliate KTNV they believe the victims were shot by one suspect who remains at large.
