Investigators were able to verify the same male suspect committed all three crimes after studying video evidence from people in the regions as well as crime camera footage.

Ulysess Brown Jr., 57, of Garyville, was identified as the victim. Investigators interrogated Ulysess Brown Jr., who reportedly admitted to all three crimes as well as a previously undetected theft.
