SEATTLE - A third aggravated murder count has been filed in Washington state against a man who is also charged with murder in New Jersey. Prosecutors allege the four killings are part of a "bloody crusade" to punish the U.S. government for its foreign policies.
King County prosecutors Wednesday charged Ali Muhammad Brown, 29, with first-degree aggravated murder in the April 27 shooting of 30-year-old Leroy Henderson in Skyway, south of Seattle. Brown was earlier charged with aggravated murder in the June 1 shooting deaths of two young men in Seattle, Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson-Young.
Henderson was out walking late at night when he was gunned down. The young Seattle men were shot a short time after they left a nightclub.

In early August in Newark, N.J., Brown pleaded not guilty to killing a college student on June 25 in that state. Brown and two alleged accomplices are accused of killing 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin as he stopped at a traffic light in West Orange while on his way home. Brown is held on $5 million bail. His public defender had no comment at that court appearance.
"The investigation in King County and New Jersey reveals that this defendant is responsible for a series of murders, none of which appear to be provoked, and all of which show an extreme level of violence," King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said in a statement.
An aggravated murder conviction in Washington is punishable by death or life without parole.
Detectives tracked Brown through cartridge casings linked to the slayings and surveillance video that showed a distinctive Dodge Durango SUV. Prosecutors say police were also able to get a palm print from inside a victim's car in the Seattle slayings that was matched to Brown.
"The defendant was on a bloody crusade, executing four innocent men ... with the same murder weapon, over the course of approximately two months, and all under the common and single scheme of exacting 'vengeance' against the United States government for its foreign policies," King County prosecutors said in court documents.
