Former 'Honey Bee Killer' Suspect Getting Hate Mail
JOLIET, Ill. (CBS) -- Attorneys for a suburban police officer falsely accused in a deadly two-state shooting spree say he has been receiving hate mail since he was cleared.
Lynwood police Officer Brian Dorian was originally arrested for the Oct. 5 shootings that left one man dead and two others wounded.
But he was cleared of the crime days later when police determined he was home at the time of the shootings.
The gunman, who has been dubbed the "Honey Bee Killer," shot two men who were rehabbing a house in Will County Beecher. One man, Rolando Alonso, 45, was killed, while the other, Joshua Garza, 19, was wounded and hospitalized. A third man escaped into a field.
Shortly afterward, the man shot farmer Keith Dahl, 63, at his farm in Lowell, Ind. Dahl may have saved his own life by playing dead.
The Honey Bee Killer case has now gone cold.
Meanwhile, Dorian has been advised by Lynwood police Chief Russell Pearson to sue Will County.
