Beverly Hills police officers detained a 33-year-old Los Angeles man last week who was suspected of killing the victim of a follow-home robbery in San Dimas and three homeless people in Los Angeles. The individual, 33-year-old Jerrid Joseph Powell, was arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and charged with four counts of murder, one count of residential robbery and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was held without bail as of press time and scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 8, according to online inmate records.
If convicted as charged, Powell could receive a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.
