PHOENIX -- Police reached out to Spanish-speaking members of the community Wednesday night in an effort to generate more tips on two serial predators believed responsible for a combined 13 slayings in the Phoenix area.

The meeting, which took place in east Phoenix, was also called to tell the Spanish-speaking community about the killings and to encourage people who may have been victimized by the predators in other ways to come forward. In addition to the killings, the two are suspected of numerous sexual assaults and nonfatal shootings.

"These crimes are affecting our community. They're hurting our people," said Elias Bermudez, president of the activist group Inmigrantes Sin Fronteras, or Immigrants Without Borders. "It's a situation that needs solving and the community should step up."

A similar meeting was held earlier for the English speaking community.

Sgt. Andy Hill, a police spokesman, said it's possible there are people who have been victimized who have not come forward because of their immigration status. He said there will be no repercussions for victims who come forward, whether they're in the country legally or not.

Police discussed their investigations in the Baseline Killer and Serial Shooter cases.

The Baseline Killer is believed responsible for killing seven women and one man and sexually assaulting 11 women during the past year. The Serial Shooter is linked to five killings and the nonfatal shootings of 17 people.

A $100,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to the capture of either killer.

"We have a killer on the loose, going wherever he wants to go. We need to know how to avoid him," said Jorge Gonzalez, a 31-year-old father of four who attended Wednesday night's meeting.

Maria Hernandez, 31, works as a cook in Phoenix and gets off work at 3 a.m.

"I'm scared. I leave work when it's dark and I don't know where he'll strike next," she said. "I'll be walking and I'll hear a noise and then I jump and I'm scared. I don't walk around a lot anymore. We hope they catch him soon."
