I doubt they’d offer that much money as a reward if they didn’t have reasonable doubt to think it was all connected. I don’t have a map in front of me to see where these happened in relation to another, but they’re all 5-15 minutes apart at around 1am… not too many people out so leads me to believe they shot whoever they came across.
