A self proclaimed incel sought out his revenge for perceived sexual and social rejection. His manifesto stated "I didn't start this war... I wasn't the one who struck first... But I will finish it by striking back. I will punish everyone. And it will be beautiful. Finally, at long last, I can show the world my true worth."

On May 23, 2014, Rodger started his rampage, which he titled "The Day of Retribution", by stabbing three people to death. He then went to the Alpha Phi sorority house near the University of California, Santa Barbara, with the intention of massacring all of the occupants inside. When his knocking on the front door went unanswered, Rodger shot three Delta Delta Delta sorority sisters who were nearby, killing two and wounding a third. Rodger continued his rampage, shooting at several pedestrians in drive-by shootings and striking others with his car... 

This is the true crime case of the infamous incel - Elliot Rodger
