Associated Press is reporting that Los Angeles Police Department has arrested a suspect in the Grim Sleeper case:

A law enforcement official says Los Angeles police have made

an arrest in the so-called “Grim Sleeper” serial killings in which a man is believed to

have killed 11 people since 1985.

The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, tells The Associated Press the

arrest was made Wednesday morning. No name or other details were immediately

released.

Detectives have spent years probing at least 11 slayings between 1985 and 2007 in which the killer targeted young black women and one man.

The killer was dubbed the “Grim Sleeper” because he apparently took a 14-year hiatus in his crimes.
