Overview
- Police say three linked attacks early Monday, April 13, left two women dead and a 49-year-old homeless man in critical condition across Decatur, Brookhaven, and Panthersville.
- Officers arrested 26-year-old Olaolukitan Adon Abel after a homeowners association’s Flock license-plate camera identified a rental car connected to all three crime scenes.
- Abel, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from the U.K., is charged with malice murder, aggravated assault, and a firearm offense after a traffic stop ended the search.
- Investigators report no known ties between the suspect and victims and have not identified a motive, while DHS praised slain auditor Lauren Bullis as a caring colleague and dedicated public servant.
- Officials and reports cite prior convictions that include sexual battery and assaults on officers, and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin faulted the administration for granting citizenship as journalists note it remains unclear if any convictions predated his 2022 naturalization.
