SANTA MONICA, California –
A man identified as the suspect in the murder of two homeless men in Los Angeles could also be linked to the disappearance of two members of his own family in the Houston area, according to police sources.
Ramon Escobar was arrested in connection with a series of vicious beatings of homeless men while they were sleeping in downtown Los Angeles.
Two of the victims died later and one was left in critical condition. Police said the suspect used a baseball bat to attack his victims while sleeping and then stole them. He also reportedly beat another man sleeping under the Santa Monica wharf.
