The UCLA Shooter Made a Kill List Before the Shootings

The Los Angeles police chief has named the man who carried out the UCLA murder suicide. The mans name was Mainak Sarkar and the police chief says he left a “kill list” at his Minnesota home that led authorities to find a woman’s dead body. The “kill list” they found had the names of Klug, another UCLA professor and a woman.

According to police chief Charlie Beck says Sarkar drove to Los Angeles from Minnesota with two guns and killed Professor William Klug before killing himself.

Beck says the woman was found shot dead in her home in a nearby Minnesota town. The other professor on the list was not harmed.

Beck says it appears that mental issues were involved and says Sarkar’s dispute with Klug appears to be tied to Sarkar thinking the professor released intellectual property that harmed Sarkar.

Police are asking the public to help to find the car Sarkar drove to Los Angeles. The car is a 2003 Nissan Sentra with the license plate of 720KTW.
