Police seeking man who picked up Fresno gun
2017-04-20
[Ynet] Authorities say a man picked up the gun that a suspect used to kill three white men in a racially charged attack in Fresno and are urging him to turn himself in.

Police Chief Jerry Dyer also told news hounds Wednesday that it's "very rare" for a homicide suspect to cooperate with Sherlocks in recounting the killings. Dyer says he believes Kori Ali Muhammad, who is black, was "proud" of what he did.

Muhammad yelled "holy shit! Allahu akbar," or "God is great," during his arrest and described himself as Moslem but says he practiced voodoo rituals and prays to seven different gods.

#2  A useful link, Skidmark. More from the Daily Mail, which missed the voodoo and reading about police suspicions online at Starbucks:

The family of suspected Fresno shooter Kori Muhammad said his dislike of white people had been simmering for years following a series of ’bad experiences’.

Muhammad’s cousin, Sharisse Kemp ‐ who has been appointed family spokesperson - says Muhammad joined the Nation of Islam as a young man but had ’moved away’ from that later in life.

’I wouldn’t even say he was tied to any specific religion,’ she said.

Kemp, a 33-year-old social worker who lives in Sacramento, said her cousin was single and had been working as a washing machine service repairman alongside his father Vincent Taylor in Fresno. As a hobby he enjoyed recording rap songs.

Kemp said her cousin had struggled with his mental health in the past and had been institutionalized, but had improved in recent years and wasn’t taking any medication.

’Was he wandering around, hallucinating or having anything that we felt like put him in danger of himself or the possibility of harming others, no,’ she said.

Muhammad has a lengthy criminal record, including a dismissed felony charge of unlawful firearm possession in 2004.

He was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial in 2005 after a grand jury indicted him on cocaine and firearm possession.

Court documents in that case stated that Muhammad 'suffered auditory hallucinations and had at least two prior mental health hospitalizations.'

A federal judge later declared him mentally fit in 2006 and he subsequently served 92 months in prison.
