Gunman in California shooting spree that left a woman dead and three others wounded 'was a heroin dealer who planned to kill snitches'

A sister of a survivor in the deadly Ridgecrest, California, shooting rampage said the gunman was a heroin dealer who wanted to eliminate snitches. Dawn Meier revealed Friday that 39-year-old Sergio Munoz was friends with her brother, but shot him and his girlfriend when the brother refused to go along with the murderous plot. The girlfriend was killed in the early morning shooting. Dawn Meier said her brother, Thaddeus Meier, is recovering at a hospital. Munoz later took a man and woman hostage and led police on a lengthy car chase with the pair in his trunk. Authorities say Munoz was killed when he stopped on the side of the road in the Mojave Desert and began firing his gun into the trunk. Police said the hostages are in critical condition.
