REDWOOD CITY, Jan 26 — An immigrant farm worker was formally charged with premeditated murder on Wednesday in the fatal shooting of seven co-workers near San Francisco, the state’s second deadly gun rampage just two days apart that claimed a total of 18 lives.
The prosecutor said authorities do have an idea about the suspect’s motives but declined to share any details. Wagstaffe also revealed the existence of one tantalizing clue, saying a note was found inside Zhao’s car, though he declined to disclose what it said. Under California law, defendants convicted of murder with “special circumstances” can be eligible for the death penalty, though Governor Gavin Newsom in 2019 declared a moratorium on executions. The state has not put a condemned inmate to death since 2006.US Vice President Kamala Harris, a California native, arrived in Los Angeles to visit the Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park, site of the first of the recent deadly rampages.
The precise motive for the shooting remained unclear. Zhao had been employed by one of the growers, Mountain Mushroom Farm, and had resided at the property along with some other employees, according to farm owner California Terra Gardens. Authorities said early evidence indicated the bloodshed stemmed from a workplace grievance. The second crime scene, Concord Farms, is about a mile away.
