A fifth victim of the horrific shooting spree in Santa Monica, Calif., was confirmed dead Sunday as law enforcement officials revealed the name of the suspected gunman.
John Zawahri, 23, was identified by police as the heavily armed man who rampaged through a mile-long stretch of the coastal city Friday, dressed head to toe in black and carrying an AR-15 assault rifle as well as a duffel bag stuffed with as much as 1,800 rounds of ammunition, law enforcement officials said Sunday.
Zawahri is accused of gunning down five people near a community college campus, before being fatally shot himself by police.
The fifth victim, Marcela Dia Franco, 26 — who along with her father, Carlos Navarro Franco, 68, was fatally shot by the suspect as he stormed Santa Monica College — was taken off life support at a West Los Angeles hospital Saturday night, the victim’s family told NBC Los Angeles Sunday.
