Murder suspect faces animal cruelty charges

A person of interest in a series of Southern California shootings that killed three people and injured four others Sunday is being held on suspicion of animal cruelty for allegedly shooting two dogs a day earlier.

An LAPD spokesman says Alexander Hernandez is being held on $1 million bail and detectives are trying to link him to the homicides.

He hasn't yet been charged in Sunday's killings of two women and a man in the San Fernando Valley.

But police say there are no other suspects and that there is no threat to the community.
