Tibbitts was killed Friday after an intruder broke into her 11th Avenue home through a window, killed her two dogs, then attempted to sexually assault her before killing her, authorities said.
A 51-year-old parolee with two prior strike convictions, Troy Davis, was arrested Saturday and made his first court appearance Tuesday in a case that could lead to a death penalty prosecution.
Davis had last been arrested in June in a case involving car theft and a parole violation and was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail, then released by sheriff’s officials before appearing before a judge.
He missed a June 22 arraignment date, and a felony bench warrant was issued for his arrest.
Davis was not apprehended until he showed up in the Land Park neighborhood late Thursday and was caught on a neighbor’s Ring doorbell camera, apparently masturbating on the porch.
Later, police say, he broke into Tibbitts’ home and killed her.
