Authorities say Dorner is 6 feet tall, about 270 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He is believed to be driving a blue 2005 Nissan Titan pickup with California license plate number 7X03191.

Irvine Police Chief Dave Maggard at a news conference Wednesday night asked for the public's help in locating Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, in connection with the slayings of Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence.

Maggard declined to specify a motive for the shootings but indicated that police had uncovered a "multipage manifesto" written by Dorner in which he "implicated himself in the slayings."

Police did not release any copies or excerpts from the manifesto. However, Dorner's lengthy, rambling manifesto was posted online by KTLA.
