Poor family!
He’s been ID’d and will be charged soon according to information in the link below. I expect they had to match bullets from each of the shootings to his gun and make sure they have enough evidence to make charges stick.

From this link, information about the suspect John Thomas Conway...
Sierra County sheriff’s deputies identified the suspect Tuesday as John Thomas Conway, a 40-year-old Oroville resident who was arrested along Saddleback Road, about a mile north of Highway 49 in historic Gold Country where claim holders still mine. The Sheriff’s Office said charges in connection with the shootings were expected soon.
Conway’s arrest came after an officer-involved shooting and release of a police dog, the Sheriff’s Office said, and the suspect was treated for undisclosed wounds at a hospital. Last year, the Butte County Sheriff’s Office listed Conway as one of its Most Wanted fugitives as he had outstanding felony warrants for vandalism, battery and two counts of making terrorist threats. A judge held a mental competency hearing and the case was allowed to continue, according to court records.
In January, he pleaded no contest to a felony vehicle theft charge as part of a plea deal and received a split sentence, eight months in jail and three years stayed. It’s unclear why he was out of custody, but a warrant was issued for his arrest June 10 after he violated his probation, according to court records.
