The gunman from a shooting at a garlic festival in California on Sunday where three people, including a six-year-old boy, were killed has been identified as 19-year-old Santino William Legan.
He was named on Monday as police in Gilroy, where the shooting happened, continued to hunt for his accomplice.
An Instagram account that was registered under his name had been deleted by the time he was named on Monday. Officers from the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Bureau were seen searching a home in Gilroy overnight but they have not confirmed if it is Legan's.
Legan was shot dead by police after firing his semi-automatic assault rifle into crowds at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, an annual event which attracts 100,000 people to the small town.
President Trump called him a 'wicked murderer' on Monday during a bill signing ceremony at the White House.
Among those killed was six-year-old Stephen Romero. Two others died who are yet to be named publicly.
Survivors said Legan told them he was 'really angry' when they asked him why he wanted to kill them.
Authorities believe he gained access to the festival, which was protected with metal detectors, by using bolt cutters to get through a fence.
They believe he had an accomplice and police are still looking for that person.
Other survivors have told how he was silent as he marched through the crowds.
'He didn't say anything, nothing. He did not even look from side to side. He just kept looking forward,' Cheryl Low, who was working at the festival, told ABC.
Fifteen people, including a 12-year-old girl, were injured.
The two suspects are believed to have entered the festival via a creek on the north side, where they used a tool to cut through a fence in order to avoid strict security at official entrances.
Legan then fired his semi-automatic, stopping to reload at one point, and did not flinch as his bullets his children. Some witnesses say he moved 'like a police officer' because he was so efficient.
'He shot one child and then he put the clip in and he just started moving back and forth walking toward the tents because that's where most of the people were in that area and he started shooting,' Cheryl Low, who was working at the festival, said.
