A man has been charged with murder in the slayings of three women in a three-month span in Dallas, authorities said Wednesday.
A preliminary investigation identified the suspect as 25-year-old Oscar Sanchez Garcia, the Dallas Police Department said in a statement.
Kimberly Robinson, 60, was found dead on April 22, according to the statement. Her body was found in an open field south of downtown Dallas and her death was being investigated as a homicide, the department said at the time. A cause of death was not provided.
Cherish Gibson, 25, was found on the same block as Robinson about two months later, on June 24. She had been fatally stabbed, the department said in an earlier statement.
On Saturday, a third woman was found two miles away near the Trinity River, police said. Her manner of death was ruled a homicide. She has not been identified.
At least two of the victims have possible ties to sex work, police said in an earlier statement.
The department added that investigations into all three cases are ongoing.
Sánchez García will be charged with three counts of murder, police said.
Additional details about the circumstances of his arrest were not immediately available. It was not immediately clear if he has an attorney speaking on his behalf.
