Police say a 21-year-old who was a student at the University of California, Davis, until last week was arrested on accusations of fatally stabbing two people and wounding another in attacks that terrified the quiet college community
Police investigators are seen at the home of stabbing suspect Carlos Dominguez, 21, on Hawthorn Lane in Davis, Calif., on Thursday, May 4, 2023. A 21-year-old who had been a student at the University of California, Davis, until last week was arrested for allegedly stabbing three people, including two fatally, and sending fear through the quiet college community, city police said.
“He was out wandering a neighborhood where the second homicide had occurred. He had a large knife in a backpack, wearing the same clothes from the third stabbing," Pytel told a news conference, explaining the circumstances of Dominguez's arrest. “That's highly unusual and unique.” He enrolled at UC Davis in fall 2020 and previously attended Laney College, a community college in Oakland, California.
The stabbings all occurred within a mile of campus. On Thursday, police were searching a residence near campus, where Dominguez lived with housemates.
