3rd person dies after Guam stabbing rampage; suspect held on $2 million bail

Officials in Guam say a third person has died after being hit by a car during a rampage in the U.S. territory’s tourist district that left two others dead and 11 others injured.

Spokesman Tony Muna of the Guam Visitors Bureau said that a 51-year-old man taken to Guam Memorial Hospital l in critical condition died Thursday morning, Guam time.

Muna says authorities are not immediately releasing his name while a complaint filed against 21-year-old Chad Ryan De Soto is updated.

De Soto, of Tamuning, is accused of plowing into several people with his grey Toyota Yaris late Tuesday as he drove onto a sidewalk and into a convenience store at the Outrigger hotel in the Tumon district. Authorities say he then got out of his car and started stabbing people he came across.

Muna says the 51-year-old victim was hit by De Soto’s car.
