SANTA MONICA, Calif. (KABC) -- Police have released a photo of the suspected gunman in the Santa Monica shooting rampage that left five people dead.

John Zawahri, 23, fatally shot his father, identified as 55-year-old Samir Zawahri, and his 24-year-old brother, Christopher Zawahri.

A third victim identified as 26-year-old Marcela Franco died at a hospital on Sunday. Her father, a longtime Santa Monica College groundskeeper, also died during Friday's tragedy.

The fifth victim was believed to be a woman, her name has not been disclosed.

Timeline of events

The deadly rampage began minutes before noon Friday when police were called to a shooting in the 2000 block of Yorkshire Avenue. Officers found a house on fire and later discovered the bodies of the suspect's father and brother, inside the burning house.

The shooting spree, which lasted about 10 minutes, was carried out in various Santa Monica locations. Police say the suspect shot and wounded a woman driving by, then carjacked a woman at gunpoint and forced her to drive to the Santa Monica College campus. She escaped uninjured.

The shooting spree continued as the gunman fired his weapon several times in the areas of 20th Street and Pico Boulevard, Cloverfield and Pico boulevards and 19th and Pearl streets.

Along the way, he allegedly fired at a city bus traveling down Cloverfield Boulevard near Pico Boulevard, resulting in minor injuries to three people. Then, the gunman allegedly fired at Franco's SUV.

Carlos Franco, 68, was taking his daughter to the college bookstore to buy textbooks for her summer classes when they were struck by gunfire. After shots were fired, their red SUV crashed into a parking-lot wall on campus.

A woman in her 50s was shot and killed outside the Santa Monica College library. Police said the woman was not an SMC student and was in her 50s. The suspect attempted to shoot more people inside the library.

Investigators say that once he arrived on campus, the suspect exchanged gunfire with officers several times. He made his way to the library and took aim at students. Police said the suspect fired at least 70 rounds inside the library.
