California authorities have announced the arrest of a former University of California Davis student charged with a series of stabbings that left two people dead and another injured over the past week.

Davis police said 15 tipsters reported Wednesday that they had seen a person matching the description of the suspect provided by authorities. A caller said they followed the suspect, who was eventually stopped by police officers.

“It appeared he had physical evidence on him that could be part of the investigation,” Davis police chief Darren Pytel said Thursday.

There is no indication that Dominguez knew any of the victims, police said.

The arrest came after the series of attacks that began on April 27 with the stabbing of 50-year-old David Henry Breaux, who was found dead in the city’s Central Park. Breaux was known locally as the “compassion guy” because he often asked passers-by what “compassion” meant to them, according to FOX 40 Sacramento.

There were no witnesses to the attack.
