After checking the suspect’s license plate, police arrived at his home at around 11 a.m. and discovered a body that appeared to be several days old. The body has yet to be identified.

The stabbed man was also seriously injured and taken to a hospital.

By 2 p.m., police had discovered a second unidentified body at a home across from the convenience store. Cha was last seen wearing a black jumper, white sneakers, black gloves, and a white face mask, police said. He is of average build and has a partially bald forehead with short hair. Police noted that he may have changed clothes since the incidents.

A bounty will be offered for information leading to his capture, and the identity of any informants will be kept confidential, according to the officers.
