Fredrick Scott, 22, is charged with 2 murders and suspected of three others along the Indian Creek Trail system. 

We stopped by his last known address at 3318 Bridge Manor Drive. No one answered. 

Linda Bryant lives across the street. She doesn't know Scott but is disturbed by the charges.

"We didn’t know anything about it until last night. Kind of shocking," said Bryant.

According to court documents, Scott repeatedly told investigators that he was angry over the 2015 murder of his brother, Gerrod Woods.

41 Action News has learned that Woods was one of two men killed in December of 2015 during an armed robbery.

Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced the charges against Scott on Tuesday.

"There is no motive that makes this make sense. We are asking individuals who know him to contact us," said Peters Baker.

The prosecutor shared several pictures of Scott with the public. 

"No charges have been filed in three other homicides. The defendant remains a suspect in those homicides. Which are under a very, very active investigation," said Peters Baker.
