WATCH: Michigan Police Seek Serial Killer That Targets Black Men

Michigan State Police and authorities around Flint are looking for one man responsible for 13 stabbings resulting in five deaths since late May. All but one of the victims are African-Americans and the perpetrator is as a white male.

  Over the weekend, "police released a sketch of the suspect who they say is targeting men who are elderly, small of stature or otherwise vulnerable," reports the Detroit Free Press. The man is described as a "white, muscular male standing 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 2 inches, lightly goateed with a baseball cap and sporting a stud in his left ear. "Police say the man approaches his victims, asking for help or directions, and then engages in short conversation before stabbing them repeatedly."

The stabbings have been reported across Genessee County in  Flint, Flint Township, Burton and Genesee Township.  Two of the victims were disabled.

A weekend vigil was held to remember the latest victim.

A Saturday stabbing in Flint was unrelated.

Battle Creek Police and the FBI are investigating an apparently unrelated violent carjacking and vicious stabbing as a possible anti-gay hate crime.

More developments today: Investigators in Leesburg, Virginia believe the same man could be responsible for three stabbing attacks there last week against Black men. Watch news reports AFTER THE JUMP ...

This is awful.

Anything from the other side lambasting such unspeakable acts?

I co-sign, just sad & i'm wondering are they doing ALL they can to try to catch him (i.e., bring in the FBI & set up a task force w/all the states where these crimes have occurred). We see that it's not getting any steady press coverage (where is Nancy Grace??????????) Many have found out about it by reading blogs. Now if they victims were all white, they would cut into the soaps & prime time programming with updates!! It just sickens me (the double standard in this country)!!

Also they are saying that there were similar stabbings in Leesburg & they "believe" the Ohio stabbings are related due to the same m.o.

Time to close up those Manhunt, Adam4Adam, and other accounts...start thinking with your brain. Make sure that you are traveling with someone, resist hooking up without emailing friends information and for goodness sake stay out of the bushes...
