Seung Ho Han, 69, has also been charged with three counts of
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following Tuesday's
shootings in the Koreatown neighborhood of Carrollton, police
said.
Police said Han acknowledged he was the shooter in an interview
with detectives and said he was angry at the people he shot
because of financial disagreements over their business dealings.
They declined to release the names of the victims and said they
were still investigating the motive.
Carrollton, with about 130,000 people, is 20 miles (32
kilometers) north of Dallas. More than 4,000 residents are of
Korean descent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Han was being held Wednesday in Denton County Jail. Jail records
did not list an attorney for him.
The first shooting happened just before 10 a.m. Tuesday at a
shopping center, police said. When police arrived, they found
four adults who had been shot, including a man who died. While
they were investigating, another shooting was reported at an
apartment complex roughly 4 miles (6 kilometers) away.
Responding officers found a dead man inside one of the
apartments.
Police said Wednesday that the three injured people were
hospitalized in stable condition.
Investigators determined that Han carried out both of the
shootings, police said. He was arrested at a nearby grocery
store after a short chase on foot.
