Prosecutors charged a Los Angeles man Thursday with carrying out at least three hate-crime attacks across the region targeting men who were gay or perceived to be gay, and detectives believe more people may have been harmed. Detectives suspect that others may have been targeted by Ebow, said Ceballos, who asked anyone with information to contact police in Los Angeles or Culver City. Authorities in Culver City said Ebow came to their attention Dec. 29, when a stabbing was reported at the Five Guys restaurant in the Westfield Culver City mall. In a statement after Ebow’s arrest, Culver City police said the man had confessed to the stabbings. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles declined to comment.
