Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Prosecutors in California have charged a 34-year-old man with killing two men whom he met via a smartphone dating application and trying to kill a third.
Rockim Prowell, of Inglewood, Calif., was to be arraigned in court Monday when he was charged with two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts each of carjacking and second-degree burglary and one count of assault with a deadly weapon.
The charges were announced in a statement by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office on Monday. Prowell was arrested last week, it said.
According to court documents, Prowell is alleged to have used the dating app to lure his victims, including Miguel Angel King, 51, whom Prowell is accused of fatally shooting on July 20, 2021.
