Phoenix serial killing suspect seemed to live in isolation
PHOENIX — The man dubbed by police as the Serial Street Shooter has left behind few signs of what his life was like before he was arrested in Phoenix’s first serial killings in a decade.
Aaron Saucedo, 23, didn’t have a criminal record, as many people accused of murder often have. He didn’t have a visible presence on social media as most millennials do. And he still lived with his mother and had held a series of low-paying jobs.
This hazy portrait of Saucedo emerged as police said Saucedo was a serial killer responsible for 12 nighttime shootings from August 2015 until July 2016 that unnerved residents of a largely Latino neighbourhood. Saucedo declared to a judge “I’m innocent” as he made a brief court appearance Monday night.
Saucedo has held various jobs over the years, including working as a labourer for a home remodeling company and as a city bus driver. In court documents, he said he made $1,000 a month.
