Armed Intruder Barricades in Vacant Apartment at Mariners Complex

Summary: A male suspect, described as shirtless and wearing black plaid shorts, broke into multiple apartments at the Mariners complex in Stockton, California. He was seen carrying a colorful bag and was reportedly armed with knives. The suspect booby-trapped doorways with knives in an attempt to harm maintenance staff and later barricaded himself inside a vacant apartment (unit 1003, 8035 Mariners). A vendor working inside the apartment was able to exit before the suspect locked himself inside. The situation posed a significant risk to maintenance staff and responding officers, as the suspect was believed to be still armed and had previously set traps.
