Davis police have confirmed that the person of interest they have detained is believed to be connected to all three stabbings, two of them deadly.

Chief Pytel says they can't definitively say all three stabbings are connected, but the suspect description of a man with a light complexion, curly hair, about 5'6" to 5'9" tall, with a thin or slender build, wearing a dark sweatshirt with a brown backpack, matches the last two attacks.

"We are bringing in every resource and working around the clock to be able to solve these horrific crimes," he said, adding the public should remain vigilant. "Look out for each other, stay aware of your surroundings." "I still feel that there is some sort of very nervous and very fragile atmosphere around here," Yutian Tan, a Davis resident said.

"Although there are common factors between these two brutal crimes, such as the brutal nature of the crimes and that the suspect likely used a knife, there are no known connections between the victims; investigators are still determining whether the incidents are linked," they said. The computer science major had a bright future ahead of him, according to Chipman, one of his classmates, who said Abou Najm "had a lot of opportunities, research, internships."

"The death of David Breaux is utterly and completely devastating," Davis Mayor Will Arnold said. "Many of us knew David. We talked with him. We shared in his vision for a kinder world. We connected on what it means to be human and humane."
