A man shot and killed three people on the streets of downtown Fresno on Tuesday, shouting ‘God is great’ in Arabic during at least one of the slayings and later telling police that he hates white people, authorities said.

Kori Ali Muhammad, 39, was arrested shortly after the rampage, whose victims were all white males, police said.

He also was wanted in connection with another killing days earlier, in which a security guard was gunned down at a Fresno motel after responding to a disturbance.

Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said the victims were shot seconds apart around 10:45am in close proximity in areas around downtown.

Muhammad is a self-proclaimed rapper who goes by the nickname of ‘Black Jesus,’ Dyer continued.

Muhammad posted a number of photos on Facebook donning turbans and head jewelry and wearing pro-black clothing, and previously posted about his dislike of white people

He said Muhammad also made other statements to police but he did not disclose them to the public.

Muhammad is active on Facebook and Twitter and expressed his dislike of white people previously in social media posts.

Police say Muhammad first approached a PG&E van on the 300 block of North Van Ness street and shot the passenger inside repeatedly.

He then took aim at a bystander nearby at the corner of Van Ness and Mildreda Street – but missed.

He continued down Fulton Street, shooting and killing a pedestrian there, then briefly reloaded at a nearby bus stop.

He then killed the last victim of his rampage in the parking lot of the Catholic Charities building on the 100 block of North Fulton Street.

Though the shooting happened outside a Catholic Charities building, but spokeswoman Teresa Dominguez said the charity doesn’t believe the suspect was tied to the nonprofit organization or targeted specifically at those of a Christian faith.

Sayed Ali Ghazvini, imam of the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno, said Muhammad was not a member of his congregation and he did not recognize him. The imam said he is consulting with other faith leaders.

‘We’re kind of shocked and surprised for what happened,’ Ghazvini said.

‘We are very sorry for this to happen. We offer condolences for the victims, we pray for the victims and their families.’

Following the shooting, Fresno city spokesman Mark Standriff said county offices were placed on lockdown, and people were urged to shelter in place.
