The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Lovelle Mixon may be tied to as many as six rapes -- including that of a 12- year-old-girl.
Investigators had previously said Mixon's DNA was linked the day before the shootings to the rape of a 12-year-old girl last month in East Oakland. They say the girl was dragged off the street at gun point before being sexually assaulted.
Now they say they've found a similar pattern in at least five others.
Memorials and Vigils for officers
The community has created a spontaneous memorial of flowers, flags and notes at the door step of the Oakland Police Department.
There is a book of condolence at Oakland City Hall people can sign. The book will be available daily from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m..
A police memorial will be held Friday, March 27, 2009 at 11 a.m. at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. The services will be open to the public. Officers from outside agencies and attendees should arrive early. We will be streaming the memorial here at ABC7News.COM.
