A Mexican national accused of killing four people in Kansas and one in Missouri in 2016 is dead after being found unresponsive in his St. Louis jail cell.
A spokesman for the St. Louis mayor’s office says Pablo Serrano-Vitorino was found unresponsive and alone in his cell at 2:02 a.m. Tuesday. He was pronounced dead at a hospital about an hour later. No further details were released. He was 43.
Serrano-Vitorino was accused of fatally shooting four men at a home in Kansas City, Kansas, on the night of March 7. He was arrested a day later in Montgomery County, Missouri, where he was accused of killing Randy Nordman of New Florence.
Serrano-Vitorino was in the U.S. illegally.
He was being held in St. Louis awaiting trial in the Missouri case on a change of venue.
