On Saturday, Stockton police arrested 43-year-old Wesley Brownlee for allegedly shooting to death six people in Stockton and Oakland, crimes that authorities have described as randomly targeted serial killings that were motivated simply by Brownlee’s “mission to kill.”
Court records say Wesley Brownlee became depressed and “very distressed” over his brother’s death and that his mother sought therapy for him. The records say he was diagnosed with a learning disability in elementary school and dropped out of high school as a junior. When interviewed by a juvenile probation officer in his mid-teens, he talked about wanting to attend college for computer science and earn a basketball scholarship with the hopes of one day playing in the NBA.
“He seems either unable or unwilling to assume meaningful responsibility for himself,” the report says. “He appears to have difficulty settling into any kind of positive activity.” Brownlee was arrested in Alameda County in 2014 for allegedly selling crack cocaine on the 5800 block of East 16th Street, just one block from where his brother was killed nearly 20 years earlier, and within a mile of where Juan Vasquez Serrano was shot and killed in 2021. He pleaded no contest and received jail time and three years probation, court records show.
