Dale Shawn Hausner
Summary of Offense:
The main suspect in the Phoenix Serial Shooter attacks was sentenced to death for six murders that put the city on edge for nearly two years. Dale Hausner was convicted of killing six people and attacking 19 others in random nighttime shootings in 2005 and 2006.
Prosecutors said Hausner preyed on pedestrians, bicyclists, dogs and horses during a 14-month conspiracy that occasionally included his brother and his former roommate, Sam Dieteman.
Dieteman pleaded guilty to two of the killings and is awaiting sentencing. He testified against Hausner, saying he and his roommate cruised around late at night looking for strangers to shoot. He could also face the death penalty.
