OAKLAND, CA — Investigators say they have DNA evidence linking convicted serial killer Charles Arnett Stevens, 38, to the 1989 murder of Brenda Belvins, 26, whose body was found at a house on 54th Street in North Oakland. In 1993, Stevens was convicted in the murders of Leslie Noyer, 29; Laquan Sloan, 16; Lori Rochon, 36; and Raymond August, 28, and the attempted murder of six others during a series of random shootings that took place in Oakland during a three-month period in 1989. Stevens was sentenced to death for the crimes, and earlier this month the California Supreme Court upheld his conviction and death sentence. Prosecutors are now expected to file charges against Stevens for Brenda's murder.
