A homicide suspect in Arizona is accused of committing nine murders in just three weeks, Phoenix police said Thursday.

Cleophus Cooksey Jr., 35, has been in custody since the last of the nine alleged killings on Dec. 17 when police say he shot and killed his mother and stepfather.

But after he was arrested, police kept "digging," Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said Thursday, and discovered seven other fatal shootings in the area they say are connected to Cooksey.

The nine homicides spanned from Nov. 27 to Dec. 17 in Phoenix and nearby Avondale and Glendale, police said.

Phoenix Police Sgt. Jon Howard said police believe there may be more victims and said they were flooded with tips called in from the public.

They have the wrong guy in Custody. Everyone knows only White guys go on mass killing sprees. I mean after all the Drive By Media told us so, it must be true.

Most of the victim photos look like they’re from their drivers license photo.

That’s a nasty, unfounded thing to say. You’re a real piece of work.

Cleophus Cooksey Jr.? Really? If my parents gave me that name I'd probably be more than a little crazy to.

Chief: This looks like a good time to clear all the red off the murder board.

Detective Inspector: You are right again sir, I think there are at least 6 and perhaps 8 other murders this guy did.
