Timeline of Davis stabbings that left 2 dead, 1 in critical condition

Two people died in the first two stabbings and a woman is in critical condition after the third stabbing in Davis in five days.

DAVIS, Calif. — Three stabbings in Davis happened over the span of five days after years without a homicide reported.

Two people died in the first two stabbings and a woman is "severely wounded" after the third stabbing.

May 5: Carlos Dominguez will be arraigned on two murder charges in the deaths of David Breaux and Karim Abou Najm, as well as an attempted murder charge in the attack on Kimberlee Guillory. Dominguez will also face a special circumstance for multiple murders, which would make the case eligible for life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty, according to the Yolo County District Attorney's Office. Dominguez is also on a detainer by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

May 4: The Davis Police Department announced an arrest in the recent stabbings that left two men dead and a woman injured. Carlos Dominguez, 21, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, and a weapons violation for having a "large hunting knife" on him when he was detained on May 3. Evidence was collected from the first two homicide scenes, leading officials to believe the three cases are connected. Officials also said the third victim, a homeless woman named Kimberlee Guillory, is "severely wounded" and recovering at the hospital.

May 3: Davis Police Lt. Dan Beckwith said a person of interest related to the stabbings was detained. He said police are now following up with this person and are taking standard investigation steps. It's unclear at this time exactly how the person of interest may be involved with the stabbings and their identity has not been released.

May 2: Davis police held a press conference and said they are still trying to determine if the homicides are related. The suspect description is "substantially similar" according to Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel.

May 1: A woman was stabbed Monday night at a homeless encampment near 2nd Street and L Street. A woman said someone stabbed her more than once through a tent. The woman was taken to UC Davis Medical Center where she is in critical condition.
