Tampa police arrest suspected serial killer (VIDEO)

Local law enforcement apprehended a suspected serial killer terrorizing the streets of Tampa, investigators announced Tuesday.
Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan said during a press conference late Tuesday a 24-year-old man named Howell Emanuel Donaldson III will be charged with four counts of first degree murder — ending a search that began more than six weeks ago in the city’s Seminole Heights neighborhood.
“Unfortunately, I am not going to have the answers you want,” he said. “This is an ongoing situation.”
Donalsdon drew the attention of law enforcement earlier in the day when he asked a manager at the McDonald’s where he once worked in Ybor City — about four miles south of area of the murders — to hold a loaded 9 mm handgun. The manager alerted an on duty police officer dining inside the restaurant at the time, who called for back up.
“We said all along that no tip is too small and somebody stepped forward and gave us what we needed,” Dugan said.
It’s been 51 days since Donaldson claimed his first alleged victim — 22-year-old Benjamin Edward Mitchell at a bus stop near his home in Seminole Heights Oct. 9. Four days later, residents discovered the body of 32-year-old Monica Caridad Hoffa
