Manhunt for Washington Murder Suspect Moves to Southern California

Why this matters: The search for a violent fugitive in a densely populated area poses a significant public safety risk. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any potential sightings to authorities immediately.

The Longview Police Department identified Rogers as the suspect in the stabbing of 73-year-old Andrew Peters and his sister-in-law, 64-year-old Dawn Peters. Dawn Peters died from her injuries, while Andrew Peters survived the attack. The stabbing occurred at the family's home in Longview, with investigators suggesting the violence was unprovoked.

Rogers had recently been released from prison after serving a 20-year sentence for attempted murder. Before the stabbing, Rogers was briefly encountered by police for a vehicle licensing issue, but no criminal activity was apparent at the time. After the stabbing, Rogers fled Washington, and his vehicle was later found abandoned in Calabasas, California, triggering a manhunt involving Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies.

Authorities are saturating the Calabasas area in search of Rogers and are working to determine his motive. The knife used in the attack has not been recovered.

Alexander Rogers is a 51-year-old man wanted for murder in Washington state.

He is accused of stabbing two people, resulting in one death and one injury, in Longview, Washington.

He is believed to be on the run in Southern California, specifically near Calabasas, where his car was found.

Call 911 immediately and do not approach him, as he is considered armed and dangerous.
