Update
The 26 year old student (Marcela) whose father was killed on Friday died yesterday. Turns out that her father, Charles Navarro Franco, happened to be a 30 year employee of Santa Monica College (groundskeeper). It's not believed that the killer knew this or that it's in any way related.
Zawahri's mother was reportedly out of the country when the killings took place and is now back in California. Some reports saying that the killer lived with his mother, others that he lived with the father and brother that he killed on Friday. Maybe back and forth?
Anyway, red flags about this guy were everywhere. It was no secret that he was mentally ill and had threatened to harm others.
snipped:
...sources tell CNN that Zawahri was hospitalized for mental illness in recent years after allegedly talking about harming others.
A neighbor described the victim as unemployed, 22, man who lived in the Mar Vista area with his mother.
'My heart breaks for her, because I knew the kid wasn't right,' Beverly Meadows told KABC. 'You know how you can just sense there's something not quite right about somebody? Something not quite right.'
Meadows added that the suspect had recently shaved his head and grown a beard. It remains unclear if the 23-year-old admitted himself or if he was involuntary placed in the hospital. Also unclear are the exact circumstances of his treatment and the circumstances of his release.
Officials do not believe Zawahri had any terrorist affiliations, domestic or international.
Seabrooks did confirm that Zawahri had a 2006 run-in with the law but was unable to specify its exact nature, as he was a minor at the time.
