A person of interest has been detained in connection with three stabbings -- two of which killed a college senior and a homeless man -- in Davis, California, police announced Thursday.

Davis police said the person of interest was detained in connection with the two homicides and the attempted homicide and that more information will be provided at a news conference at 5 p.m. ET Thursday.

The "brazen" attacks, which all unfolded within one week, left the UC Davis campus and the surrounding college town on edge.

The first attack was on April 27, when David Breaux, a beloved homeless man who was a staple in Davis for over a decade, was stabbed multiple times and killed in the city's Central Park, according to police. He was found on a park bench where he often slept, police said.
