A 21-year old man is suspected to be behind shootings at three different massage parlours in the United States' Atlanta area, which has left eight dead, including several Asian women, police said on Tuesday (local time).
"That, along with video evidence viewed by investigators, suggests it is extremely likely our suspect is the same as Cherokee County's, who is in custody. Because of this, an investigator from APD is in Cherokee County and we are working closely with them to confirm with certainty our cases are related," the department was cited by CNN.
Long, captured Tuesday night (local time) some 150 miles south of Atlanta, was also a suspect in two other shootings at massage parlours in northeast Atlanta that left four more people dead.
Three people were found dead at the Gold Massage Spa on Piedmont Road in Atlanta, Police Chief Rodney Bryant said.
